NEW YORK, April 21, 2010 - IntraLinks, the leading provider of critical information exchange
solutions, today announced that it has been named to Gartner's "Cool Vendors
in Life Sciences, 2010" report. IntraLinks is an innovator in Software as a
Service (SaaS) solutions that address the time- and accuracy-sensitive
document sharing, communication and collaboration needs of the life sciences
industry. Companies included in Gartner's Cool Vendors reports offer
technologies that are considered innovative, impactful and intriguing.

In the Gartner report, authored by analysts Steven Lefebure and Dale
Hagemeyer
, it states that "despite some pockets of relative technological
sophistication, life science companies still have some pockets of manual
processes relating to information flows. By automating these with technology,
they can increase operating results, efficiency and regulatory compliance at
the same time".

IntraLinks' secure document sharing, cloud-based platform provides the
ideal solution to life science companies that still use manual processes
because it covers the needs of the industry as related to site recruitment,
study start-up, safety document distribution and clinical alliance
management. IntraLinks' platform helps pharmaceutical clinical and safety
teams achieve greater efficiencies, improve regulatory compliance and reduce
risk.

"It's an honor to be named by Gartner in the life sciences cool vendor
report and it's also gratifying to see that IntraLinks meets the industry
needs outlined by the analysts," said Alison Shurell, VP, product marketing,
IntraLinks. "Pharmaceutical companies are actively looking for alternative
solutions to the inefficient, unsecure paper-based methods often used to
exchange documents and communicate with investigators during clinical trials.
By moving processes online with IntraLinks, clients not only automate
workflow and improve efficiency, they add a layer of unmatched security and
control to the process. We believe that Gartner's recognition is further
affirmation of our ongoing commitment to the life sciences industry, which is
illustrated by the top 10 global pharmaceutical companies, top 10 global
clinical research organizations (CROs) and top 10 biotechs in the world all
using IntraLinks."
