NEW YORK, May 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- IntraLinks (NYSE: IL), a leading provider of critical information exchange solutions, today announced that it has been ranked the number one vendor in the team collaboration software market* in 2010 by Gartner Inc. It marks the fifth consecutive year that Gartner has recognized IntraLinks as the leader in the team collaboration market.

Gartner based its ranking on its own analysis of vendors as well as vendors' reported revenues. The results were published in Gartner's recent worldwide market share analysis reports on team collaboration and Web-conferencing software, and all software markets.

Notable results from the reports include:

    
    -- IntraLinks had a 23.8 percent market share in 2010, an 11 percent
       year-over-year increase
    -- IntraLinks' global growth in absolute terms, $43.6M, represented an
       increase of more than 30 percent year-over-year
    -- The overall team collaboration software market grew 17 percent in 2010
       to $774 million, indicating that IntraLinks' global growth rate was 
       almost twice that of the overall market

"Since 2008, the continuing convergence of team collaboration and enterprise social software drove new revenue opportunities as suites/platform offerings became more prominent," writes Tom Eid, research vice president, Gartner. "Teaming software vendors are providing more vertical market-aligned and line-of-business-focused capabilities."

"We believe the Gartner report provides convincing evidence of our leadership in the growing marketplace of cloud-based solutions for team collaboration," said Greg Kenepp, chief marketing officer, IntraLinks. "IntraLinks established its strong market position because our solutions are built for outside the firewall exchange of sensitive and critical information that securely accelerate business processes."

Gartner started looking at these specific markets because the continuing convergence of team collaboration and enterprise social software is driving new revenue opportunities as platform offerings became more prominent.
