SS&C Intralinks is the global standard for high-stakes M&A. It is the "banker's choice" for hosting the world's most sensitive deals, famous for its unbreachable security and strict governance. Colabra is the buyer's intelligence layer. We do not replace the vault; we work inside it. Intralinks keeps the documents safe; Colabra makes them understood.
Intralinks is designed for governance. Its primary focus is controlling who sees what, when, and for how long. It excels at rights management, watermarking, and audit trails. It is the tool the sell-side banker uses to ensure the process is compliant and the data is leak-proof.
Colabra is designed for understanding. We ingest the documents to answer the critical questions: What are the liabilities? Where are the gaps? Who owns the IP? We shift the focus from "Can I access this file?" to "What does this file mean for the valuation?"
Intralinks' features are designed to protect the seller. Its "Redaction AI" helps hide sensitive data; its "View Protections" stop you from downloading files. Colabra's features are designed to arm the buyer. Our Gap Analysis highlights what the seller hasn't uploaded, and our Risk Flagging identifies the liabilities they hope you won't notice.
In Intralinks, you find documents by searching for keywords or browsing folders. It is a manual retrieval process. In Colabra, the risk finds you. We proactively push "Red Flags" to your dashboard—alerting you to a change-of-control provision or a missing signature without you having to search for it.
Intralinks can only show you what is in the room. It cannot show you what is missing. Colabra's Reconcile lens maps the folder structure against a standard buy-side checklist to visually highlight the gaps—the missing board minutes or the empty tax folder—that represent the silent risks in the deal.
