Secure External Collaboration

External collaboration: The key to upgrading the value of your content.

Enterprise content management (ECM) systems, like SharePoint®, and other collaboration tools for business can enhance internal communication and improve productivity. However, using them for external collaboration presents a challenge because these systems simply weren’t designed for it. From content security and user governance to support, utilizing internal enterprise file sharing systems for external collaboration causes major IT issues.

Unless given a viable alternative, users who want to share files with external contacts will turn to consumer-grade cloud file sharing business solutions like Dropbox. These third-party technologies will not integrate into your existing security and governance architecture, but they will put your data and organization at risk.

That’s where Intralinks can help. With a powerful platform for secure internal and external collaboration, we enable users to share files easily with contacts anywhere in the world, without compromising your security, control or governance.
