The objective of the Tech M&A Banking Review is to help buyers and sellers select the most appropriate financial advisers for transactions they may be considering. Companies can use the report to narrow down advisers based on the number or dollar value of deals advised or on the basis of advisers' experience in specific technology segments. The report draws on data from 451 Research's M&A KnowledgeBase, a transactions database that focuses exclusively on the IT and communications sectors. The KnowledgeBase tracks more than 45,000 deals that are searchable by over 650 technology segments, enabling industry professionals to identify advisers that have worked on comparable transactions in those sectors. Additionally, it provides analysis of important enterprise IT deals and offers proprietary estimates of undisclosed values for key transactions.
