Case Study: Builders FirstSource achieves streamlined due diligence and reduced administrative burden with IntraLinks

Builders FirstSource - Customer Case Study

Builders FirstSource, a $2.3 billion supplier and manufacturer, faced a time-consuming paper dataroom for its 2005 refinancing and planned IPO. After a painfully labor-intensive 2004 refinance that strained the legal team with organizing, copying and shipping documents, management wanted a more efficient, secure way to handle due diligence and regulatory demands.

UBS recommended IntraLinks Exchanges to create an online dealroom; IntraLinks helped organize and upload more than 30,000 pages (initial upload in two weeks) and provided full project management support. The virtual dataroom enabled desktop-based due diligence, faster fulfillment of document requests, and a sharp reduction in administrative burden, allowing Builders FirstSource to run a smoother IPO/refinancing process and stay focused on growth.
