From Days to Minutes: How Mazzone & Associates Speeds Deals with Intralinks

When speed matters, every day — and sometimes every hour — counts. That’s why Dustin Dawson, VP at Mazzone & Associates, relies on SS&C Intralinks to keep his deal team moving at the pace of the mergers and acquisitions (M&A) market. In our latest customer testimonial video, Dustin shares how DealCentre AI helps him streamline processes, protect sensitive information and move deals forward without delay.

For Mazzone & Associates, opportunities can appear at any moment — even on a holiday weekend. With DealCentre AI’s self-launch capability, Dustin’s team can open new data rooms instantly, without waiting for outside assistance. This freedom removes friction and streamlines the start of the deal process, letting them respond immediately when a client is ready to take the transaction to due diligence.

Supercharged search

Once deals are underway, finding the right information quickly is critical. Ask Link, DealCentre AI’s advanced search functionality, allows Dustin’s team to locate documents in seconds, saving hours each week compared to sifting through disorganized competitor platforms. That efficiency compounds over time, freeing the team to focus on strategy and execution rather than administration.

The platform also gives them a powerful advantage in tracking buyer engagement. By maintaining a rich pool of data on who’s interested in what, Mazzone & Associates can roll forward qualified buyer lists to future deals, making each transaction faster and more precise. This data-driven approach turns past activity into future momentum.

Safe and secure dealmaking

When it comes to safeguarding sensitive information, Intralinks’ AI-powered redaction tool has transformed a once-tedious process. What used to take three days of manual work in Adobe now takes minutes, says Dustin, who is able to protect client confidentiality without slowing a deal down.

After nearly a decade of working with Intralinks, Dustin describes the partnership as both “attentive” and “nimble” — qualities that help his team deliver with speed and precision under compressed timelines.
