On September 24, 2025, Donnelley Financial Solutions (DFIN) announced the launch of its new Venue virtual data room (VDR), a comprehensive rebuild of the platform that retains the familiar name while delivering a modern architecture and streamlined navigation.
The new Venue offers intelligent permissioning, real‑time insights, and a self‑launch interface that allows users to create and manage multiple data rooms on demand, reducing reliance on IT resources and accelerating project timelines. It supports large file uploads and high‑capacity storage to accommodate complex, data‑heavy transactions such as mergers, acquisitions, IPO preparations, and other corporate initiatives.
Venue is tightly integrated with DFIN’s broader software suite, including ActiveDisclosure, to streamline SEC filings for IPOs and M&A and to enhance financial reporting workflows. Security is aligned with ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 standards, and the platform includes single‑sign‑on (SSO) and multi‑factor authentication (MFA) options for added protection.
The new DFIN Venue is available to clients today, while the legacy Venue remains accessible during a phased migration that is planned to conclude by 2026. This launch represents a significant operational milestone, positioning DFIN to capture a larger share of the virtual data room market and to deepen its software‑centric offering for capital‑market and regulatory clients.
