WANdisco plc announced that it has signed an initial agreement worth $9 million with a global European-based industrial and consumer goods company. The Agreement is a one-off migration for manufacturing process and other enterprise information management data that resides in the Client's data centres in Europe and Asia to be migrated to multiple cloud service providers. WANdisco was chosen due to its proven ability to migrate petabyte scale data and its capability to migrate data to multiple cloud service providers.

The ability to run analytics at scale on a large amount of manufacturing process data can help companies to drive greater efficiencies and more accurately monitor processes. The manufacturing sector is increasingly producing large sets of data, making it a strategically key target market for WANdisco. The Company is seeing an increasing number of opportunities in this vertical and as a result the Board expects manufacturing data to become a core and growing market for WANdisco going forward.
