4 Phase 4: Maintain one version of the truth going forward (post-closing) The VDR process pulls together all kinds of company information and puts it in one place, ready to be examined by potential purchasers. But what about afterwards? Why not continue to use and update this information post-transaction, in your day to day processes? Maintain one version of the truth rather than revert to multiple ones? We can help here too.
