Contract momentum including major supermarket

WANdisco (LSE: WAND), the LiveData company for machine learning and AI, announces that it has signed an initial deal worth up to $1m with a major British supermarket. In addition, there has been strong uptake for the Group's Azure Cloud product, with 11 companies registered in the first month of public preview.

With the completion of this deal with one of the UK's nationwide supermarket chains, WANdisco's technology will be used on-premise for data consistency and then subsequently for migration to the Azure cloud. The supermarket serves millions of customers each week, online and in store, and employs over 400,000 people throughout the UK.

Since entering public preview on 1 June 2020, the Company's Microsoft Azure LiveData Platform has registered 11 companies for the service. This strong momentum during public preview is in line with the Group's expectation to sign 50 new customers within the first 12 months of operation.

WANdisco CEO and Chairman David Richards, commented:

"This deal with one of the UK's largest supermarkets reflects trends across the global retail industry to harness the power of big data and analytics through the cloud. With the backdrop of COVID-19, retailers are fast tracking their cloud journeys as digital and physical commerce become ever more intertwined. Our momentum registering new customers for our embedded product, with eleven signing in the first month of operation, provides further confidence in our partner led strategy."
