Now what
Synchronoss will now need to work on integrating Intralinks, which represents a "major step forward" in the company's enterprise strategy, Founder and Executive Chairman Stephen Waldis said in a statement. On the conference call, CFO Karen Rosenberger provided guidance for the coming year. Full-year 2017 should see non-GAAP revenue in the range of $810 million to $820 million for the combined company. Approximately 65% of revenue should come from the cloud carrier-based business, with the remaining 35% being generated by the cloud enterprise business. Revenue in the first quarter should be $173 million to $178 million.
