Digify’s features—like rapid data room setup, centralized version control, white-labeling, and intuitive access—delivered both operational efficiency and an outstanding investor experience.

The Challenge: Simplifying Communications and Delivering Better Investor Experiences

Managing investor communications for a multitude of stakeholders with disparate needs across multiple international offices had become increasingly complex for G Squared’s Investor Relations (IR) team. Some of the challenges included:

1. Inefficient Workflows

Their previous platform’s slow performance made routine tasks—like loading guest lists or managing document versions—frustrating and time-consuming.
Repetitive manual tasks like managing access, distributing updated documents, and troubleshooting technical issues wasted valuable time that could have been spent building relationships with investors.

2. Inconsistent Communication

Sharing outdated or incorrect documents risked creating unnecessary confusion for both the IR team and investors.

3. Investor Experience

G Squared recognized that investor experience was critical to their credibility and success.

“When we started looking for an alternate provider, we asked our team which data rooms they liked most as recipients. We wanted a platform that delivered an outstanding recipient experience. The answer was Digify.”
