Goldsmith Agio Helms today announced it has selected IntraLinks as its preferred provider of virtual dealrooms. Under the terms of the agreement, the middle market investment bank will standardize on IntraLinks’ On-Demand Workspaces™, putting in place a turnkey platform that will accelerate the deal timeline for its clients.

“At Goldsmith Agio Helms, our commitment is to helping our clients to maximize shareholder value. We constantly seek new ways to deliver on this promise,” said Bill Sharpe, chief operating officer at Goldsmith Agio Helms. “Our agreement with IntraLinks allows us to offer our clients a seamless dealroom experience, and gives our bankers more time to devote to serving our clients’ needs.”

“We took the time to conduct a rigorous evaluation process,” said Sean Daugherty, an associate at Goldsmith Agio Helms. “After a year’s worth of due diligence, we found IntraLinks to be the only provider in the marketplace with the levels of security, reliability and customer service that we felt comfortable recommending to our clients. That confidence, combined with IntraLinks’ superior usability, has helped us to conduct deals with greater efficiency and speed.”
