Since the IPO we have hired a number of highly experienced enterprise sales staff and they have delivered substantial year-on-year sales growth, which in the first quarter was 96%. Also pleasing was an almost three-fold increase in the average deal size as we now sell on value rather than technology. The sales pipeline for the second quarter and beyond continues to grow for all products and the group remains confident of further substantial sales growth.\nWe anticipate making further updates in the coming weeks associated with our Hadoop Big Data products. We anticipate them to be made during the Hadoop Summit, where we are exhibiting, on the 26th and 27th of June.\nFinally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the employees of the Group who have contributed so much to the rapid growth and development of WANdisco and we all look forward to further progress going forward.\"\n \nFor further information please contact:\n \n\n\n\n\nWANdisco plc:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDavid Richards, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer\n\n\nvia FTI Consulting\n\n\n\n\nNick Parker, Chief Financial Officer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFTI Consulting:\n\n\n+44 (0)20 7831 3113\n\n\n\n\nMatt Dixon / Sophie McMillan / Jon Snowball / Roger Newby\...
