451 TechDealmaker examines the opportunities for and implications of corporate mergers and acquisitions within core areas of enterprise IT innovation covered by The 451 Group. By focusing on those emerging enterprise information technologies that are likely to gain significant marketplace traction within an 18-to-36-month time frame, 451 TechDealmaker effectively targets a highly volatile market 'sweet spot' that has a subsequently high level of M&A activity

The service delivers two major types of analyses:

• Forward-looking reports: The service specializes in providing anticipatory analysis of specific sectors and companies that are likely to see M&A activity within the next 6-18 months.
• Insight into recent transactions: The service also focuses on interpretation of announced transactions that The 451 Group believes will have significant impact on emerging enterprise IT market segments.

451 TechDealmaker delivers insight and data designed for corporate development professionals; institutional, private-equity and venture capital investors; investment bankers; and a range of financial intermediaries – all who have active interests in these markets.

The core deliverables of the service include:

• Deal Analysis: 451 TechDealmaker analysis focuses on the rationale behind newly announced acquisitions and the marketplace repercussions of those transactions. These analyses particularly concentrate on how the underlying drivers of an acquisition relate to the way a deal is structured, valued and later integrated into the acquirer's operations. Deal Analyses also examine in detail how a merger impacts other players in the marketplace and how it may lead to follow-on transactions by other players. Other 'post-merger' reports revisit a transaction months after it is announced to assess an acquirer's progress in integrating a past acquisition.
• Sector Analysis: The service provides a succinct view of the M&A outlook for specific market segments, ranging from enterprise mobile software to information lifecycle management and grid computing. These reports draw upon the ongoing research 451 analysts conduct with major sector participants on a daily basis; 451 analysts then distill these insights into concise reports that examine the forces driving future M&A activity and the buyers and sellers that are most likely to be involved in a given sector.
• Company Analysis: The service also singles out specific acquirers or targets that are likely to be active in M&A. Coverage ranges from larger private and publicly traded firms that are likely to be acquirers to the venture-funded startups and growth-stage players that present the most attractive acquisition targets. Again, analysts draw upon their daily research activities to gain insights into the strategies of both buyers and sellers.
