Welcome to The Dealist, your trusted insider's guide to navigating the complexities of mergers and acquisitions (M&A). This episode of the podcast explores how technology, particularly virtual data rooms (VDRs) and artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed the due diligence process. We’re joined by two distinguished guests, Noah Waisberg, CEO of Zuva, and Prakash Kanchinadam, head of AI and analytics at SS&C Intralinks.
