The 451 M&A KnowledgeBase is the only mergers and acquisitions database focused on the broadly defined information technology sector. It tracks more than 40,000 global transactions across more than 650 segments of the technology and telecommunications markets. In addition, by leveraging the insight of 451 Research analysts, the KnowledgeBase provides in-depth analysis and proprietary deal value estimates for key private-company transactions involving some of the market's most disruptive technologies.

1. The only M&A transactions database tailored to the needs of
the IT segment, offering deep insight into private technology
valuations and deal rationales.
The 451 Research KnowledgeBase provides specialized information on the technology sector
available almost nowhere else. With a 650-node, regularly-updated industry taxonomy, it pro-
vides a more precise and comprehensive retrieval of valution comps, where most competitors
follow only generic industry classifications.
Tailored to the needs of IT deal professionals, we provide custom deal analysis and insight on
deal rationales and likely future deals.
Our proprietary deal value and TTM data provides industry-leading perspective with more valu-
tion comps for private deals — the 451 M&A KnowledgeBase is a essential resource in a sector
where public information is harder to ascertain each passing quarter.
