Dashboard

The MergerWare deal dashboard is your one-stop-shop for all information about your deal.

The Dashboard is fully customizable and provides information on deal status, how far ahead or behind you are running, and all the risks or issues and key tasks.  Additionally, our dashboard provides the ability to communicate and send announcements to all or select members of the team.

Security and control are paramount and what you see on the dashboard is based on your role and users will only have access to the appropriate information and status updates they are allowed to see.  

For example, the deal owner or integration manager will be able to see all elements of the deal, including all streams and tasks, while stream owners will only be able those tasks they own and are responsible for.
