Secure data exchange from the home office

Against the backdrop of the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic, netfiles GmbH, one of the leading providers of virtual data rooms in Germany, is experiencing significantly increased demand for data rooms for secure data exchange and collaboration from the home office.

Laptop computers, which are usually standard even for stationary workstations in the office, already make it relatively easy to be flexible with regard to the place of work. However, integration into the company network and secure and compliant data exchange from the home office is more difficult in most cases. This usually requires additional IT administration effort and software installation. With the currently very large and ever-increasing number of home offices, the effort for a secure networking of home offices is hardly manageable for the IT departments of companies.

A virtual data room from netfiles, on the other hand, can be used immediately, without the need to install software or IT administration, and enables highly secure data exchange with company headquarters, other employees or business partners and customers, regardless of the user's location. Without complex integration into the company network, compliance guidelines and the highest security standards can be taken into account when transferring data from the home office.

Thomas Krempl, managing director of netfiles GmbH, comments on the use cases of virtual data rooms: "Whereas in the past the primary use case of virtual data rooms was in the area of due diligence, today's range of applications goes far beyond this. Today, our data rooms are not only used in the preparation of transactions, but also for online collaboration, real estate management, board communication and generally for secure data exchange across locations. Due to the immediate availability, without IT administration effort and the ease-of-use, our data rooms are now also experiencing increased demand from companies looking for a solution for secure collaboration and secure data exchange with employees in home offices".
