Case Study: Avondale Partners achieves 25% faster M&A deal velocity with Intralinks

Avondale Partners accelerated M&A deal velocity by 25 percent with an Intralinks Virtual Data Room (VDR)

Avondale Partners, an employee-owned investment bank and asset manager in Nashville known for healthcare expertise, faced slow, inconsistent M&A workflows because analysts relied on multiple virtual data room (VDR) vendors. Procuring, launching and configuring rooms was time-consuming, folder structures were often lost and new users could take a week or more to become productive, delaying deal processes.

Avondale standardized on Intralinks as a preferred partner, gaining self-launch capabilities and granular permission controls that preserved folder structure and reduced human error. The change cut VDR setup time by 50%, lowered costs by 20% versus prior providers, enabled analysts to be productive in one day, and accelerated M&A deal velocity by 25% while improving reporting and buyer-intelligence for deal marketing.
