This is the next in a series of guest blog posts by IntraLinks’ collaborators, partners, and vendors. Ali Riaz is chief executive officer and president of Attivio. Attivio's Active Intelligence Engine™ (AIE) is the leading unified information access platform. It rapidly delivers comprehensive, high-value insight by integrating enterprise search, business intelligence and data warehousing capabilities. With search technology powered by Attivio, IntraLinks users access millions of documents across tens of thousands of SaaS-based workspaces while tightly managing access control lists (ACLs) and workspace-specific roles and permissions. Full text search indexing and advanced concepting techniques guarantee that our users can retrieve all types of information – content and data – with one query.

Businesses that deliver quality and innovation, increase revenue, satisfy customers, and gain market share advantage over their competitors are the ones that thrive in today’s hyper-competitive global marketplace. It only makes sense then that as managers, we focus a lot of our attention on measuring these key success factors and identifying ways to improve.

I recently sat down with the folks at VisibleGains and other members of our technology team to talk about our thoughts on structured team collaboration, as well as search and our partner Attivio. Mush Hakhinian also gives an interesting talk about security with two-factor authentication and our partner RSA, while Charlie Weiblen discusses performance enhancement and our partner Akamai.

Recently Ajmcello78 posted a question on Slashdot that we hear from our customers all the time: “How to Manage Hundreds of Thousands of Documents?”

That simple question usually introduces a cavalcade of issues about how a company handles accessibility, performance, and findability/searchability around vast quantities of documents.

The answers are not simple, but they certainly are numerous. (A host of them are mentioned in the comments of the original Slashdot post.) In all fairness, many third party solutions offer both advantages and pitfalls in certain areas depending on a company’s needs.

But with our users – more than 750,000 of them since IntraLinks emerged in 1997 – we’re constantly receiving feedback on what companies really need to be able to “manage hundreds of thousands of documents.” Without listing all of the ways we help companies store, manage and search large numbers of documents in a secure environment, I want to talk about how we’re innovating our technology to help folks like Ajmcello78 create a truly streamlined, efficient business process.
