Intralinks was acquired by TA Associates in 2007, and became a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange in 2010. In 2011, Ron Hovsepian, previously CEO of Novell, Inc. joined Intralinks as Chief Executive Officer, President and Director.. Under his leadership, Intralinks developed Intralinks VIA and Intralinks DealNexus.[4]

Recent Developments

docTrackr

On April 23, 2014, Intralinks acquired docTrackr,[8] a document security company. docTrackr’s information rights management (IRM) technology enables users to protect and track PDF, Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents wherever those files are stored or shared. docTrackr combines analytics, audit trails and policy management of all document activities in a plug-in free deployment.

Released in April 2013, Intralinks VIA enables users to share information outside of the network firewall.[9] VIA encrypts every file shared within the platform and allows users to designate permissions. With the proper permission, users can download documents and collaborate freely together. VIA also includes an UNshare feature allowing admins to withdraw information at any time, with an encryption that corrupts the files (and any copies) sent or saved.[10] In January 2014, Intralinks announced a new version[11] of its Intralinks VIA product, Intralinks VIA Enterprise, which supports complete content lifecycle management for the extended enterprise. It also has Intralinks Dealspace.[12]
