Case Study: Simmons Company achieves centralized, secure document management with IntraLinks

Simmons - Customer Case Study

Simmons Company, an innovative mattress manufacturer, faced fractured document management after a series of ownership changes left legal files, contracts, and critical records scattered across departments. The small legal team wasted time scanning and emailing oversized files to outside counsel or resorting to couriers, creating administrative delays and risk when time-sensitive business opportunities arose.

In 2001 Simmons adopted IntraLinks Exchanges as a secure, central repository with controlled access to entire exchanges or specific folders, enabling anytime/anywhere document sharing and tracking. The platform now stores 125,000+ pages and streamlines IP tracking, litigation, contracts, governance and stockholder relations, while other departments (HR, taxation) also use it to manage sensitive records—leaving the legal team ready for potential sales, IPOs or other transactions.
