Dealmakers predict the second half of the year will see a
resurgence in tech M&A, fueled by pent-up demand on the buy
side, combined with long-held assets on the sell side plus the

difficult for the banks, law firms and other advisory firms to
handle. Watch The Deal's video montage with Antenna Software's Jim
Hemmer, Silicon Valley Bank's Megan Scheffel, Jordan, Edmiston
Group's Scott Peters and PricewaterhouseCoopers' Greg Peterson. For
