WANdisco stands for Wide Area Network Distributed Computing, and we make software happen.

This is because our technology is the secret ingredient behind the products that you use every day – from mobile phones to machinery. We are an active member of the community that develops the world’s most popular Source Code product: Subversion, and our technology is used by half of the world’s software developers.

Our customers include a host of Fortune 1000 companies such as Hewlett Packard, Intel, John Deere, European Southern Observatory, Barclays Capital, Walmart, GE and Cisco.

How it works

With our patented technology, software developers in distributed locations can work simultaneously, creating a seamless global network. Users at every site where WANdisco is installed have local access to the same data at all times, which means that they can make changes locally and see each other’s changes immediately.

We are proud to have a 98% customer renewal rate – which is driven by compelling ROI data: a recent study from Forrester Research has shown that our Subversion MultiSite offers a 167% return on investment with a nine-month payback period.

The company

Co-founded in 2005 by David Richards, Jim Campigli and Dr Yeturu Aahlad, WANdisco has dual headquarters in Silicon Valley and Sheffield, England. WANdisco grew, without raising any private equity, venture capital or angel finance to become a leading provider of global collaboration software to the software development industry.

On June 1st, 2012 the company had a highly successful IPO on the London Stock Exchange raising over $24 million. The IPO was oversubscribed by over 300% and the list of investors included Fidelity, Legal & General, Blackrock, Artemis, Hargreave Hale, Cazenove, M&G, Octopus and Standard Life. WANdisco's ticker is WAND.L

Hope you are keeping well 3m. Answer to your question - pay it. Pulled out my initial investment and some. The rest will be held as long as news is positive and the sp stays so.

WANdisco ‏@WANdisco 4 Dec
@WANdisco thanks partner @SHI_Intl for a great welcome and event!

i am moderately tempted by this one, not least because QL, which is quite good on its picks, gave a very positive review

however, it really is horribly illiquid, huge spread (40/50p) and controlled by the MMs although there are 6 of them

Yes, me to, But big spreads put me off as well... Anyway, what did you bring me back then from your travels, And don't give me that old pony about (left my duty frees at the Airport) stuff -):

lol

cynic, Stan

We need people like you to find and use the 'positive aspects' of big spreads for utterly fantastic stock such as this.

:-)

IMHO, big spreads usually exist when a market for the stock is not very actively traded and it has a low volume of contracts traded. Thus it doesn't take much action to get the sp moving. As the fundies and prospects are quite good for WAND, this is what has whanged the sp skywards.

I suppose the secret with a stock like this, is not to get too greedy and to try to selectively take targeted profits.

I would regard this as being the type of stock you can buy and sit on and don't have to get too bothered about watching it all the time.

the reasons i stated are why i did not dabble previously .... it was just the write-up 7/10 days ago by QL that brought it back

Stan - a suitcase full of new abuse especially tailor-made for you :-))

Agree ExecLine but this must deliver large Big data customers in 2014.

i rarely trade very short term, but to repeat yet again, i also don't like stocks that are so totally illiquid and whose price can easily be manipulated by MMs

=========

in fact, while we were discussing, spread came down to a sensible 10p, so on the back of QL (he picked up on BLNX too ages ago) i have bought

we shall see

Again anything Big data imho will soar.

you must have bought when the company launched then

:-))

David Richards is out to make this a $1 billion company.

who or what are Arria?

The number one riser today. View my thread not to far from this one.

i have read the long article on WAND in QL ..... if the chap writing it wasn't a pretty smart cookie, i'ld say that it sounds very much emperor's new clothes and/or "dotcom doesn't work on normal logic for investment"

They are actually called Arria NLG and the epic is NLG.

Here is some facts The total Big Data market reached $11.59 billion in 2012, The Big Data market is projected to reach $18.1 billion in 2013, an annual growth of 61%. This puts it on pace to exceed $47 billion by 2017. That translates to a 31% compound annual growth rate over the five year period 2012-2017. This is what wandisco would like a share of.

i read and indeed i have bought a few, but i really have no clue as to what they actually do, let alone how it all works etc etc ...... but i could say the same about BLNX from which i have done very well
