Microsoft SharePoint is an intranet and document management system. It is designed to be the "organisational memory" for your company. Colabra is a "war room" for your transactions. SharePoint is where you store your firm's history; Colabra is where you assess the target's future.
SharePoint is built for long-term storage and internal knowledge management. It is highly customizable but notoriously clunky for rapid, external-facing workflows. Setting up a SharePoint site for a deal often takes IT tickets and permissions management that slows the deal down.
Colabra is purpose-built for the speed of M&A. You can spin up a secure workspace in seconds. We are optimized for high-volume document triage, allowing you to review, tag, and flag thousands of files without the latency or administrative overhead of an enterprise intranet.
SharePoint treats a "Stock Transfer Form" the same as a "Holiday Policy." It is just a file type. Colabra understands the legal significance. We map the stock transfer to the cap table and the entity graph, understanding that this specific PDF changes the ownership structure of the deal.
Ingesting a messy external data dump into your corporate SharePoint is a governance risk. It mixes unverified external data with your internal records. Colabra acts as a "decontamination chamber," allowing you to audit the data in a secure sandbox before you decide to buy the asset and migrate it to your systems.
