Ovum, a leading industry and technology analyst firm headquartered in London, has recently published an in-depth research report looking at the benefits and value that IntraLinks provides. The report is titled Technology Audit: IntraLinks Exchanges and is authored by Richard Edwards, a principal analyst at Ovum who focuses on enterprise collaboration and information management. Mr Edwards’ report is an objective representation of the IntraLinks solutions and technology. You can view both the original report and the executive summary.

One highlight from the report is that IntraLinks Exchanges are described as providing a cloud-based collaborative content workspace that offer more security “than a locked boardroom.” Another highlight is Mr. Edwards outlining that organizations following a holistic ECM (Enterprise Content Management) strategy would “find value and utility in the targeted IntraLinks cloud-based solutions”.

Earlier this year, we worked on an exciting project to significantly expand IntraLinks’ existing document protection feature. It goes beyond securing Adobe PDF documents to securing all types of Microsoft Office files both inside and outside the firewall. This kind of project, which allowed us to apply new technology to pressing business problems, was interesting to work on and was extremely useful to our clients – more than 15,000 of our users have protected their documents since this spring.
