In 1996, IntraLinks’ founders saw an opportunity to streamline the exchange of information in the loan syndication market. This document-intensive business sector depended on an informal network of couriers, messengers and fax machines to distribute critical documents. The process was slow, cumbersome and prone to security problems. By understanding the specific challenges of the loan syndication process, they were able to create an efficient and secure online solution: IntraLinks On-Demand Workspaces™.

Many of the world’s top financial institutions quickly discovered the advantages of using IntraLinks On-Demand Workspaces to streamline their business processes. Since then, IntraLinks has developed tailored solutions, backed by exceptional service, for a variety of business sectors from commercial lending and M&A to real estate and life sciences. Since the launch of our first workspace in April 1997, more than 700,000 participants representing over 80,000 organizations worldwide have used IntraLinks On-Demand Workspaces to communicate and collaborate on thousands of projects and transactions.
