New Cloud-Based Virtual Data Room Solution
Robust Security and Auditing Functions for Information Sharing Initiatives
Works Across All Industries and Geographies
NEW YORK, 2013-05-06 14:00 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc.
(Nasdaq:NDAQ) today announced the launch of WorkSpace, a new cloud computing
platform that will expand the company's Corporate Solutions client base and
enter the burgeoning virtual data room (VDR) market.
WorkSpace is a fully hosted, cloud-based solution that safeguards all sensitive
and proprietary information in real-time, both inside and outside of an
organization's firewall. The technology provides companies with a paperless VDR
for secure and effective document sharing typically used for mergers and
acquisitions, pre-IPO due diligence review, bankruptcy and restructuring,
auditing, reporting, market research distribution and fundraising initiatives.
WorkSpace also has an iPad app and is designed for unlimited accessibility via
web or tablet use.
'At NASDAQ OMX, we are committed to building innovative technologies that help
companies worldwide minimize risk, maximize efficiency and increase
transparency,' said Anna Ewing, Executive Vice President of Global Technology
Solutions. 'WorkSpace will expedite and organize deal transactions and project
management, allowing organizations to save time and money through a highly
secure and auditable VDR platform built strictly for those needs. This is a
great opportunity for us to introduce another major cloud-based solution to the
industry.'
The virtual data room industry is expected to grow exponentially on an annual
basis during the next five years. The need to have secure file sharing,
document warehousing, and auditability has driven this growth and has provided
key stakeholders with invaluable insight into business ventures and
transactions.
'By launching WorkSpace, we aim to revolutionize the VDR industry,' said
Demetrios Skalkotos, Senior Vice President, Corporate Solutions. 'As interest
piques in the activities surrounding compliance and auditing functions for
transactions and partnership interaction, companies are demanding a highly
secure, real-time platform for document sharing and project collaboration.
WorkSpace addresses this need head on.'
