We are excited to announce that SS&C Intralinks has been named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Mergers and Acquisitions Software 2024 Vendor Assessment (doc #US51053324, September 2024).

Intralinks also won Tech Team of the Year at the 2023 Banking Tech Awards USA.

The IDC MarketScape recognized SS&C Intralinks for the following strengths:

• Integration: Intralinks offers robust integration outside the system with ERP and CRM systems, which enables smoother data gathering and entity integration post-M&A.

Both corporate and private equity M&A professionals operate in a fast-paced, time-sensitive environment where precision and efficiency are paramount. We believe our inclusion in the Leaders Category of the IDC MarketScape confirms that our platform delivers on these critical needs.
