IntraLinks Attains Gold Certified Partner Status in Microsoft Partner Program

NEW YORK, March 16, 2010--

    - IntraLinks Further Distinguishes Itself by Earning Microsoft
Competencies in ISV/Software Solutions and SOA and Business Process

    IntraLinks, the leading provider of critical information exchange
solutions, today announced it has attained Gold Certified Partner status in
the Microsoft Partner Program with Competencies in ISV/Software Solutions and
SOA and Business Process, recognizing IntraLinks' expertise and impact in the
technology marketplace. As a Gold Certified Partner, IntraLinks has
demonstrated expertise with Microsoft technologies and a proven ability to
meet customers' needs. Microsoft Gold Certified Partners receive a rich set
of benefits, including access, training and support, giving them a
competitive advantage in the channel.

    "We are pleased to have attained Gold Certified Partner status in the
Microsoft Partner Program. This allows us to clearly promote our expertise
and relationship with Microsoft to our customers," said Andrew Damico, CEO of
IntraLinks. "The benefits provided through our Gold Certified Partner status
will allow us to continue to enhance the critical information exchange
offerings that we provide for customers."

    "Customers are looking for partner companies that can bridge the gap
between their business demands and technology capabilities," said Allison
Watson, corporate vice president of the Worldwide Partner Group at Microsoft
Corp. "They need to trust in a company that can act as an expert adviser for
their long-term strategic technology plans. Microsoft Gold Certified
Partners, which have certified expertise and direct training and support from
Microsoft, can build a positive customer experience with our technologies.
Today, Microsoft recognizes IntraLinks as a new Gold Certified Partner for
demonstrating its expertise in providing customer satisfaction using
Microsoft products and technology."

    As one of the requirements for attaining Gold Certified Partner status,
IntraLinks had to declare a Microsoft Competency. Microsoft Competencies are
designed to help differentiate a partner's capabilities with specific
Microsoft technologies to customers looking for a particular type of
solution. Each Competency has a unique set of requirements and benefits,
formulated to accurately represent the specific skills and services that
partners bring to the technology industry.

    The ISV/Software Solutions Competency recognizes the skill and focus
partners bring to a particular solution set. Microsoft Gold Certified
Partners that have obtained this competency have a successful record of
developing and marketing packed software based on Microsoft technologies. The
SOA and Business Process Competency is for systems integrators, solutions and
services providers, and software developers with proven proficiency in
implementing and deploying integrated, interoperable, and agile solutions
that connect information, systems, people, and processes.

    The Microsoft Partner Program was launched in October 2003 and represents
Microsoft's ongoing commitment to the success of partners worldwide. The
program offers a single, integrated partnering framework that recognizes
partner expertise, rewards the total impact that partners have in the
technology marketplace, and delivers more value to help partners' businesses
be successful.
