IntraLinks Hosts 206 Deals Online in Q1 2005
NEW YORK, NY
BUSINESS WIRE
April 27, 2005
IntraLinks, Inc., a leading provider of virtual data rooms to the
M&A industry, today announced that 206 M&A deals were hosted
on its service in the first quarter of 2005, a 59.7% increase over
the fourth quarter of 2004. The company also noted a surge in purchases
of its DVD archive feature, which provides sell-side dealmakers
with a record of all virtual data room documents as well as which
parties accessed them.
"Much of the M&A community is recognizing that virtual
data rooms are a smart way to meet a number the compliance requirements
related to Sarbanes-Oxley while accelerating the due diligence process,"
said Matthew Porzio, Vice President at IntraLinks.
IntraLinks has also observed that its service is being tapped for
transactions that the market previously viewed as either too small
or too large to warrant the use of virtual data rooms. "Given
the increasing importance of accountability in corporate transactions,
clients doing deals of any size are recognizing the value of having
a click-by-click record of their deal," added Mr. Porzio.
