Premiership Rugby represents the 12 professional rugby clubs in England which play in Aviva Premiership Rugby, the European Champions Cup and the European Challenge Cup.

Initially, the organisation will collaborate with central partners and prospects using Intralinks VIA, before deploying in other divisions of the business.

In using Intralinks VIA, Premiership Rugby is able to communicate with its network securely, allowing it to share confidential information, such as contract negotiations, presentations, guidelines, image banks and critical processes.

"We chose to work with Intralinks because it is renowned for its work in highly-regulated industries, where protecting data and valuable IP is critical," said Paul Sherrell, Head of Partnerships at Premiership Rugby.

Sherrell continues: "It is extremely important that we secure our sensitive information. We take pride in working with best-of-breed partners and are delighted to start a relationship with Intralinks."

"2015 is a massive year for rugby in England. Aviva Premiership Rugby has seen tremendous growth on and off the pitch and its brand reputation relies on its ability to nurture commercial relationships," said Dave Wareham, SVP EMEA, Intralinks. "Premiership Rugby understands the importance of using technologies, such as Information Rights Management (IRM), to protect its confidential assets, and recognises that consumer-grade solutions can easily compromise everything it has worked towards as an organisation. We're proud that it has selected Intralinks to support its document collaboration needs."
