Today marks our first time as a public company that we’re releasing full year financial results. Investors, analysts, customers and employees are either eager or simply curious to see how we’ve performed both in Q4 and for the full year 2010. In many ways, it feels like just another year has gone. However, this year is clearly different as we’re now a public company and have the opportunity to tell the world about our financial performance in 2010.

 2010 was an exceptional year for IntraLinks, our employees, our customers and our investors. Highlights from our full year financial results include:

• Strong growth in our Enterprise and M&A principal markets drove record revenue of $184.3 million in 2010, up 31% over 2009.
• Non-GAAP operating income was $45.6 million, up 36% over 2009 and yielding an operating margin of 25%.
• Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $62.6 million, up 39% over 2009, and yielding a best in class 34% EBITDA margin compared to other SaaS companies.

Gartner recently announced their picks for the top 10 technology trends of 2010. These trends signify the strategic technologies with potential to have significant impact on the enterprise in the next three years. Top among these technologies is cloud computing, a technology delivery and consumption model for IT resources and services that is enabled by the internet, with "Software as a Service" as one of the major components of this new paradigm.

I just returned from speaking at the Akamai Customer Conference as a member of a panel called “Accelerating Global Collaboration across the Enterprise.” It fell into the first of three tracks at the conference: 1) Enterprise / High Tech, 2) Media & Entertainment, and 3) Commerce. (Incidentally, I noticed the panel had a much higher number of attendees this year than in the past. Is this a direct correlation to my participation?)
