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 almost doubles FY pretax loss

StockMarketWire.com

WANdisco has almost doubled its FY pretax loss to $39.4m, from a year-earlier loss of $19.99m. Revenue was $11.2m, from $8.0m.

CEO David Richards commented:

"For large enterprises adopting Hadoop, our technology has quickly become part of the standard Big Data architecture. We are seeing customers increasingly seeking a connected set of vendors to co-ordinate their Big Data infrastructure. Alongside such vendors, we recently deepened our partner relationships by joining the new Hadoop Open Data Platform.

"WANdisco is enabling customers across industries to realise insights, reliability and savings that they otherwise could not achieve. We believe that many of our new Big Data customers will go on to expand significantly their WANdisco solutions as they take more and more data into their mission-critical applications.

"As 2014 progressed we achieved a marked increase in momentum in our Big Data business, as successful production trials led into some significant contract wins. Alongside our new customer wins, our first contract expansion by an existing customer was particularly encouraging.

"We began 2015 by winning one of the world's top ten banks as a Big Data customer and are addressing a number of exciting new sales opportunities, made more tangible by powerful references from 2014's new customers. We look forward to reporting more customer successes as the year progresses."

Financial Highlights:

· Sales bookings up 18% to $17.4m (2013: $14.8m)

· Deferred revenue from booked sales up 47% to $19.3m (2013: $13.1m)

· Adjusted EBITDA loss $17.9m (2013: $7.8m loss)

· New funds: $10.0m credit facility; $26.1m net equity fundraise (post year-end)

i'm afraid this is another stock that promised far more than it actually delivers
i'm very glad i'm out of this having taken a pasting i seem to remember some time last year

2015 Q1 sales update



WANdisco Fusion attracts first Big Data customers



WANdisco (LSE: WAND), the leading provider of non-stop Big Data, reports on first quarter sales.



Highlights

· Revenue up 20% to $3.0m (Q1 2014: $2.5m)



· comparethemarket.com selects the WANdisco Fusion Big Data product



· Four Big Data contract wins, including a premier global retail bank (previously announced on 11 February)



· Joining the Open Data Platform partnership brings new Big Data sales opportunities





Revenues were $3.0m (Q1 2014: $2.5m), up 20% on last year's first quarter, benefitting from the roll-out of deferred revenue from prior period sales bookings.



Sales bookings were $2.0m (Q1 2014: $4.0m). Variable timing of customers' purchase completions impeded some substantial sales opportunities. During a period of rapid evolution in our products, partnerships and sales organisation we continue, as recently indicated, to expect volatility in quarterly bookings as we add to and convert our sales pipeline.





Big Data

We have completed the evolution of our Big Data product into the next generation WANdisco Fusion, which provides, for the first time, common and seamless access to data across all Hadoop-compatible data storage providers. This significantly expands our addressable market, beyond Hadoop distributors and into the wider storage market including vendors such as Oracle, EMC, Teradata, IBM and Amazon. WANdisco Fusion is easy to integrate with other vendors because it does not require access to underlying data storage architecture.



We opened up a new sales channel for WANdisco Fusion by joining the Hadoop Open Data Platform to collaborate and integrate with Hortonworks, IBM, Pivotal, EMC and others. This has added to our sales pipeline some early stage but promisingly progressing opportunities, as indicated at the time of our results statement on 17 March 2015.



There were four Big Data contract wins in the quarter, bringing sales bookings of $0.4m (Q1 2014: $0.2m). comparethemarket.com, the UK insurance price comparison website, selected WANdisco Fusion for mixed storage, including cloud-based storage. This selection by a customer of Cloudera's Hadoop distribution demonstrates that our resilient data replication is unachievable through other Hadoop technologies.



Other Big Data customer wins in the period included a premier global retail bank (previously announced on 11 February 2015), and a global operator of undersea cables to connect data centres.





Application Lifecycle Management ("ALM")

$1.6m of bookings in the quarter came from our ALM products, (Q1 2014: $3.8m). ALM sales were impacted, as expected, by the transition during the quarter to a dedicated sales force under new leadership, as indicated at the time of our previous results statement on 17 March 2015. ALM revenue grew 8%, benefitting from deferrals of prior period sales.



Bookings came from a mix of new customers, add-on features and renewals, indicating a well-established business with growth potential. Given its scale and revenue growth, it remains our objective to advance ALM towards profitability for this financial year.





David Richards, WANdisco Chief Executive Officer, comments:

"In ALM, our transition to a dedicated sales model under new leadership has, as expected, impacted sales in the quarter. We continue to move ALM towards profitability.



Our new Big Data customer comparethemarket.com shows that we have capabilities that Hadoop distributors cannot provide.



WANdisco Fusion, with its replication of mixed data storage, is already attracting significant new partnership and sales opportunities, positioning us as an integral part of the rapidly evolving Hadoop-compatible storage market."

2015 Q2 sales update



WANdisco Fusion brings record quarterly Big Data customer wins



Steps taken to improve sales focus



WANdisco (LSE: WAND), the leading provider of non-stop Big Data, reports on second quarter sales.





Highlights

· Revenue up 7% to $2.7m (Q2 2014: $2.5m)



· Sales bookings of $2.4m (Q2 2014: $3.4m)



· New Big Data product WANdisco Fusion brings eight Big Data customer wins and sales bookings of $1.0m



· Big Data sales integrated with key Hadoop platforms including Hortonworks, Cloudera and Oracle





Revenues were $2.7m (Q2 2014: $2.5m), up 7% on last year's second quarter, benefitting from the roll-out of deferred revenue from prior period sales bookings.



Sales bookings were $2.4m (Q2 2014: $3.4m). Big Data bookings increased compared with the previous quarter. During a period of rapid evolution in our products, partnerships and sales organisation we continue to expect volatility in quarterly bookings.



Costs were tightly controlled and were lower in the second quarter than in the first. Cost control will continue to be a focus throughout the rest of the year.





Big Data

Eight new Big Data customers - our highest ever - were added in the quarter, attracted by WANdisco Fusion in its first full quarter of sales. Big Data sales bookings were $1.0m (Q2 2014: $0.1m). Revenues rose to $0.5m (Q2 2014: $0.1m), reflecting the first significant revenues from previously booked sales.



Customer wins resulted from collaborations with Oracle, with partners from the Hadoop Open Data Platform including Hortonworks, and also from integrations with Cloudera customers.



New Big Data customers in the period, all of them large, global corporations, were drawn from all of our regions - EMEA, Americas and Asia-Pacific - and from a range of industries, most commonly financial services. All new customers from the quarter have intentions to scale up their subscriptions over time.



We continued the evolution of our new Big Data product, WANdisco Fusion, expanding its addressable market by enabling common data access across mixed Hadoop-compatible data storage providers, and adding support for more Hadoop analytics applications. During July we launched a free evaluation download version, and already prospective customers are evaluating the product by this means. Our first WANdisco Fusion customer went live during July, underlining the growing recognition of this product as essential for live production in mixed and evolving data storage environments.





Application Lifecycle Management ("ALM")

$1.4m of sales bookings in the quarter came from our ALM products, (Q2 2014: $3.3m). Renewals were strong, confirming that our products continue to meet the needs of today's distributed software development teams. Sales to new customers are taking time to regain momentum after the steps taken to sharpen our focus on the ALM market and increase the productivity of our sales operations.



ALM revenue was $2.2m (Q2 2014: $2.5m), benefitting from the roll-out of deferred revenue from prior period sales bookings.





David Richards, WANdisco Chief Executive Officer, comments:

"Our penetration of the Big Data market took a big step forward this quarter with a record eight contract wins and our first WANdisco Fusion customers starting to go into live production.



The recently launched WANdisco Fusion is gaining significant traction in the Big Data market. Our partners are increasingly viewing this product as crucial for their customers to go into production with new Big Data applications. We are working increasingly closely on go to market activities with selected partners such as Oracle and Hortonworks.



In ALM, the transition in our sales organisation impacted sales during the quarter. In this market, our offering remains highly relevant to today's increasingly distributed software development operations, and our live customer base of over 200 corporations offers ample sales opportunities."

This is just one of those shares that will perish to nothing.

Keep going WAN ........
... but you are going the wrong way



hlyeo98

re - perish

just be very careful on your comments " dreamer " is going to put you on the black list
100p is coming by the look of it, not only on the charting front but on the over valuation from the start
power to the people not the rampers say the "Tories" what?

what a stinker!
holds hands with BLUR

Back on early January 2015 valuation of over £300M when sales were £7.5M tells you all
33 times revenues was a bit over the top

now is only ( did I say only ) over 4 times ( historic ) and still big losses

One look at the chart in the OP above shows you just how 'hyped up' these stocks can become.

The story was all very mysterious and the technology seemed very necessary and about the only way all those big companies out there could manage 'Big Data'.

ie. The SP circa Dec 2013 was around £15 - and it's now around £1.

that is right if 500p was expensive imaging £15, but at that time there was not much revenues to go about to compare.

WANdisco (LON:WAND), up 15.3%. The Big Data software company is up 53.7% over the last five days and rose again this morning, despite no news emerging; however, earlier this week it was announced that OppenheimerFunds had upped its stake from 4mln shares to 4.64mln, equivalent to 15.68% of the company.
