Merrill Corporation Introduces New 'Drag-&-Drop' Feature for Merrill DataSite™
Exclusive new tool streamlines the process of uploading and processing content for virtual data rooms
Online, January 19, 2010 (Newswire.com) - St. Paul, Minn. ¬- Merrill Corporation, the leading global provider of technology-enabled services for the legal, financial, health care, real estate and other corporate markets, today announced the release of Drag & Drop, the newest enhancement of its Merrill DataSite, the industry's premier virtual data room (VDR) solution.
Merrill DataSite's new Drag & Drop functionality dramatically streamlines the process of uploading and processing content. Drag & Drop is supported by a unique and simple-to-use wizard that allows site administrators to easily upload content from multiple locations - without requiring them to create an elaborate index of folders and documents in Microsoft Word or Excel. The wizard remembers the last location visited, and can upload and process up to one gigabyte of content with minimal time or effort.
"Our new Drag & Drop upload tool allows an administrator to import an entire folder structure directly onto the site, simply and quickly," said Richard Martin, Senior Director for Merrill DataSite. "Even after uploading, content can easily be ordered and renamed, on screen and in real time."
Relied on by thousands of the world's leading dealmakers, we are constantly developing and enhancing Merrill DataSite by soliciting input and feedback from those users, Martin said, and Drag & Drop is just the latest example. "This valuable new enhancement will ensure the smoothest possible experience for uploading and processing content."
