IntraLinks VIA Elite is a product of Intralinks Holdings, Inc., a company known for providing inter-enterprise content management and collaboration solutions. Intralinks specializes in virtual data rooms (VDRs) and other tools that facilitate secure information sharing and collaboration, especially in the context of mergers and acquisitions (M&A).
Intralinks was founded in 1996 by John Muldoon and Mark Adams. The company initially gained traction by providing solutions for loan syndication to major banks. In 2002, Intralinks developed the first virtual data room, which revolutionized the way due diligence was conducted in transactions. Over the years, Intralinks has grown significantly and has been involved in numerous high-profile transactions, including its acquisition by SS&C Technologies in 2018.
Intralinks went public on the New York Stock Exchange in 2010, raising $143 million through its initial public offering (IPO). The company has undergone several ownership changes, including acquisitions by Synchronoss Technologies in 2016 and later by Siris Capital Group. In 2018, SS&C Technologies acquired Intralinks for $1 billion in cash and $500 million in SS&C shares.
Automated Setup and Workflows: Streamlines the process of setting up data rooms and managing workflows.

Intralinks has expanded its product offerings through strategic acquisitions. Notably, it acquired docTrackr in 2014 to enhance document security capabilities. The company also acquired PE-Nexus and MergerID, merging them into DealNexus, a platform for M&A deal sourcing.
Intralinks continuously updates its products to meet evolving market needs. For example, Intralinks VIA includes features like UNshare®, which allows administrators to retract shared information by corrupting files and any copies stored elsewhere.
