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.

Tipped by the Yorkshire post -
Software firm to find its place in the sun

Lizzie Murphy was on maternity leave at the beginning of 2013 and so didn’t make a share tip for the year.


This year she is tipping high flying software firm WANdisco:

WANdisco has been on a rising path to stardom since its £37m flotation on AIM back in the summer of 2012.

The Sheffield and Silicon Valley-based company, which specialises in software allowing its clients to store and share huge amounts of data, is cashing in on the strong demand for tech businesses.

In September last year (2013), WANdisco raised nearly £20m through a share placing to fund potential acquisitions and take on more staff as the firm continues to win new business.

The company also announced two strategic partnerships in the Big Data sector in 2013.

The first was a product partnership with Hortonworks, one of the world’s biggest suppliers of Enterprise Hadoop software.

The second was a partnership with Cloudera, a leader in enterprise analytic data management.

The company said the deal would give it a significant new route to the market for applications handling collections of data too large for a single computer.

It also launched Git MultiSite, a software solution, based on patented technology, which is designed to eliminate downtime and data loss.

WANdisco’s half-year results at the end of June showed a 20 per cent rise in revenue from $2.9m to $3.5m.

It said its earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) loss of $3.3m reflected the investment being made in both the Application Lifecycle Management and Big Data markets.

Booking subscriptions have continued to rise for the firm.

In October it announced that bookings in the third quarter of 2013 rose 120 per cent to £2.8m, driven by further strong subscription growth and accompanied by encouraging early momentum in the Big Data market.

Following its string of new business wins, strategic partnerships and fundraising, 2014 could be an even bigger year for the company, particularly if it follows through with its acquisition plans.

There is a risk that the market will overheat and WANdisco’s bubble will burst, but for the next year at least the firm’s current success shows no sign of slowing down.

The group’s shares closed 2013 at £12.30, which is a massive 198 per cent increase over the course of the year.

Pitney Bowes Selects WANdisco for 100% Global Uptime and Source Code Availability










WANdisco Protects Pitney Bowes Against Downtime and Data Loss with SVN MultiSite


SAN RAMON, Ca. – January 9, 2014 - WANdisco (LSE: WAND), a leading provider of high-availability software for global enterprises to meet the challenges of Big Data and distributed software development, announced that Pitney Bowes has selected its SVN MultiSite solution to standardize best practices across its globally distributed development team, eliminate downtime, improve network speed, and ensure the security and backup of its source code data.

WANdisco SVN MultiSite enabled Pitney Bowes, a leading provider of customer communication technologies, to improve productivity by providing an updated copy of repositories at each location and reducing network latency while protecting against failure and availability issues with its patented active-active replication technology. With SVN MultiSite, all 1,300+ developers around the globe, at sites in the United States, United Kingdom, India, and Australia, have LAN-speed access to up-to-date source code, reducing wait times for developers and allowing for continuous contribution to the code base. SVN MultiSite also provides conflict resolution and solves the company’s backup issues.

“WANdisco SVN MultiSite’s unique active-active replication resulted not only in a dramatic improvement in productivity and reduction in project completion times, but also enabled us to streamline our source code management processes by providing our distributed teams the ability to work together instead of waiting for code at check-in,” said Jacqueline Brown, Director of Global Engineering Services for Pitney Bowes. “With a distributed team, if they’re all writing simultaneously and seeing changes, the code is higher quality because we’re able to adapt to merge conflicts more quickly.”

SVN MultiSite also provided Pitney Bowes with continuous hot-backup and automatic failover for all locations. In instances of both planned and unplanned downtime, recovery is automatic and instant so when a server comes back online, it immediately synchronizes with the others in the cluster, undetectable to users. “In the past, if a server went down, developers couldn’t work. With SVN MultiSite, when a server goes down, users simply connect to other servers,” said Brown. “With a cluster of nodes around the world, we’re not worried about losing data if a site goes down because it’s accessible on the rest of the nodes.”

A recent Forrester Total Economic Impact (TEI) Report completed in July 2013 revealed that SVN MultiSite delivered a return on investment (ROI) of 357% with a payback period of less than two months. The subject of the study was a Fortune 500 company with annual revenues of over $5 billion that had deployed SVN MultiSite two years earlier. Forrester’s TEI methodology measures costs and cost reduction, and weighs the enabling value of a technology in increasing the effectiveness of overall business processes. Read the full report here.

Q4 2013 Bookings Update



Q4 Subscription bookings increased by 71 percent year-on-year



Sheffield, UK - WANdisco plc (LSE: WAND), a provider of continuous-availability software for global enterprises to meet the challenges of Big Data and distributed software development, is pleased to provide the following update for the final quarter of the year ended 31 December 2013.



In the fourth quarter, subscription bookings totalled $4.3m: a record Q4 performance (Q4 2012: $2.5m) and representing a 71 percent year-on-year growth rate. This brings bookings for the full year to a total of $14.8m (FY 2012: $7.92m), representing year-on-year growth of 87 percent.



The ALM business continued to deliver strong growth and sales traction in Q4. ALM bookings in the fourth quarter stood at $4.3m (Q4 2012: $2.5m), representing 71 percent year-on-year growth. Progress in ALM continues to be driven by two factors. One driver is the addition of new, first time customers excited by the potential of our software such as Goldman Sachs, Manulife Financial Corporation, SanDisk, Marvell Technology Group, T. Rowe Price, H3C Technologies, Tangoe Inc. and ASML Holding. The second driver is returning customers, an increasing number of whom are extending their deployment of our software across their organisations and are choosing to make multi-year commitments to our Subversion and GIT solutions. Several major renewals were secured during the quarter including NCR and Juniper Networks.



In the Big Data market, we continue to make good progress. We are currently engaged in a number of Proofs of Concept ("PoC") with potential enterprise customers for our Big Data solutions. We are excited by the potential of these PoCs and would anticipate that a number of them will evolve in to customer relationships during the 2014 financial year.



In addition, we continue to make important steps forward in building out the channel partner base through which future enterprise sales can be delivered. To that end we were pleased to announce on 11 December 2013 a new partnership with Cloudera, a leading provider of enterprise-ready Hadoop solutions. This partnership, added to our existing partnership with Hortonworks and SAP, represents a major milestone in our strategy to become the de-facto solution for continuous availability with Hadoop. We continue to work closely with our channel partners on joint opportunities in the Big Data market.



Commenting on today's Bookings Update David Richards, Executive Chairman and CEO, said:



"This is a record Q4 bookings performance for our business, following what was also a record bookings performance in Q3. Our ALM business continues to deliver rapid growth driven both by the addition of new, blue-chip customers and by the renewal of subscriptions by existing customers, often for extended periods and for increasing numbers of users.



We have secured exciting Proofs of Concept for our Big Data solutions with blue-chip organisations, further proving the strength of our offering here. These are a direct result of the strategic channel partnerships we built last year with Cloudera and Hortonworks and we are delighted that this strategy is producing results so quickly. We look forward to updating the market on our experience of early implementations in due course."



WANdisco will report preliminary results for the year ending 31 December 2013 on Thursday, 20 March 2014.

This meant full year bookings totalled $14.8m (FY 2012: $7.92m), representing year-on-year growth of 87%.

The group also reported rapid growth in its application lifecycle management (ALM) business, driven both by the addition of new, blue-chip customers and by the renewal of subscriptions by existing customers. ALM bookings in the fourth quarter totalled $4.3m (Q4 2012: $2.5m), representing 71% year-on-year growth.

Good progress was also made in the Big Data market, with a number of proof-of-concept projects underway.

Chairman and Chief Executive David Richards said: "This is a record fourth quarter bookings performance for our business, following what was also a record bookings performance in the third quarter.

"We have secured exciting proofs of concept for our Big Data solutions with blue-chip organisations, further proving the strength of our offering here.

Big data poised to break through at WANdisco

LogoThere was an impressive Q4 update from big data and distributed software development enabler WANdisco this morning – Q4 subscription bookings up 71% yoy to $4.3m, bringing the total to for full year to $14.8m, a stunning 87% increase.

Most of the growth for the three months to December 31 2013 was from the ALM part of the business, which is drawing in blue chip names like Goldman Sachs on the new business front plus renewals from existing clients. But the big data side is also gathering momentum with several proof of concept (POC) projects which the company is hopeful will “evolve into customer relationships during the 2014 financial year”. The timeframe for the move from POC to full deployments is critical to suppliers in the big data space and WANdisco’s experience indicates revenues could start to flow this year. WANdisco’s recent partnership with Hadoop specialist Cloudera, which complements its existing relationships with SAP and Hortonworks (see here), will also be helping WANdisco’s growth. The combinations will also be making procurement decisions slightly easier and anything that reduces the complexity is a bonus.

There will be more detail in the full results, due March 20, but WANdisco in continuing its strong upward momentum and as a specialist in the big data enabling area is a good indicator of market activity.

Looks like a bubble about to burst, market cap ££300m bookings not sales £8m wait for it!

Looks like a bubble about to burst, market cap ££300m bookings not sales £8m wait for it!


What a load of crap - more like full year $14.8m. By all means knock the company but do not put up false figures. Not a single mention of £8m in the RNS. Very misleading.

$14.8m WHAT? ..... sure ain't profit! .... is it even t/o? ..... almost certainly not? .... so what is this $14.8m in real terms? .... promises for the future and if so, how far out?

by the way, i do hold some

I did not say it was profit.

bookings up 71% yoy to $4.3m, bringing the total to for full year to $14.8m.

We will have to make our own decisions on this one. If the bookings/ profit does not reflect what the market is looking for, then no doubt the sp will adjust accordingly .
Again the importance of getting in early, yes with risk.

dc thought you squelched us tell us how much is $14.8m bookings not sales in ££££s?

Do not put your mistake on me, :-))

dc answer the question.

Who do you think you are please ?

And again a company you could of made a lot of money from and missed the boat.
