LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Merrill Corporation (www.merrillcorp.com), a leading provider of technology-enabled services, today announced that Merrill DataSite (www.datasite.com), the leading provider of virtual data room (VDR) solutions for business communication and information management, is providing a local language interface for its VDR service in Turkey.

“With the launch of a local version of our award-winning VDR service, I am confident that Merrill DataSite can more effectively serve the Turkish business community and attain success similar to what we have achieved in other European and Asian countries over the past few years,” said Paul F. Hartzell, senior vice president of Merrill DataSite. “Although we have been very active in Turkey since 2005, our customers have requested a local-language interface to facilitate more effective utilisation of Merrill DataSite. We have worked closely with a number of our long-standing clients, including the largest law firms and investment banks, to develop a version of our VDR interface that supports the in-country, as well as cross-border, activities of the Turkish business community. Merrill DataSite is committed to providing the highest-quality VDR services to our clients, whether they’re in London, Frankfurt, New York or Istanbul.”

Since 2005, Merrill DataSite has facilitated hundreds of transactions in Turkey and has been utilised by more than 4,000 Turkish users, many of whom are associated with the 120 Fortune 500 companies currently doing business out of Turkey.

The unveiling of the Merrill DataSite Turkish user interface will be officially announced by Hartzell during the mergermarket Turkey Forum 2010 on Nov. 9, 2010 at the Grand Hyatt Istanbul Hotel, Istanbul (http://www.mergermarket.com/events/845/).
