A well-designed package

From our own experience working on financial transactions we know that the way questions are answered, and the kind of information provided during the Q&A process, is crucial to a deal's success. With this core need in mind, we built a multi-level approval process into DRSq+a tool® so that you oversee all sell-side answers. Before your specialists' answers are sent to interested buyers, you have the opportunity of reviewing them, modifying them, forwarding them to other specialists on your team, or approving them for immediate release.

Another lauded component of the DRSq+a tool® package is the pop-up message board, which allows participants, your sell-side team and the buyers' teams to send each other comments. Your bidders cannot see comments designated as internal messages.

We've also designed the tool to be flexible enough so that it can be configured to meet your needs. It can accommodate any kind of deal, no matter how small or large, and handle hundreds of users and process thousands of questions and answers - quickly.

Tracking for a transparent process

You can also track and document the Q&A process to find out instantly what questions have been posted, when, and which staff members have answered them, when. Questions can't slip through the cracks to derail or delay your deal.

These features, and others provided by, such as statistics generation, also create a complete audit trail for your records, and guarantee a transparent transaction process.
