WANdisco - Bookings ahead, expanding platform for growth

WANdisco’s strong bookings momentum ($22.5m, +45%y-o-y, vs Edison $21.7m) in FY17 was more than matched by the strategic progress during the year. For the core big data business we upgrade our bookings estimate by 21% and now forecast 40%+ y-o-y bookings growth for FY18 and FY19, partially offset by a de-focus on the legacy SCM business. The company’s platform for growth looks exceptionally strong and we see scope for a further acceleration driven by adoption of Fusion for more use cases, sales through more partners and supported by very attractive market dynamics.
