On the Future of Digital Innovation
WSO2 passed many key milestones in 2021: by year-end, we had over 700 customers in nearly 90 countries, our annual recurring revenue (ARR) grew 31% to reach $63.3 million, and we achieved a net dollar retention (NDR) of 109%. We also expanded the team from 550 to over 900 employees in less than two years and hired several key senior leaders.
WSO2 Partner Awards: Rewarding Top Performers and Emerging Partners of 2021
2021 was another great year for WSO2. Although it was business as usual in the new norm, the results were exceptional. The company acquired 145 new customers and achieved revenue growth of 31% YoY. We started our journey towards radically simplifying the creation of digital experiences for our customers by introducing new cloud platforms. This gives us the flexibility to deploy products and solutions either on software as a service (SaaS), on private cloud, or on-premises and easily migrate between the options in the future.
Leading the Agentic Enterprise
In this live podcast-style session, WSO2’s CTO and Chief AI Officer will be joined by customer executives and industry influencers for a candid discussion on what it really takes to lead in the agentic era. The conversation will explore how enterprises are thinking about AI agents, modernization, governance, and the operating changes needed to turn early momentum into lasting business value. Expect a practical discussion grounded in real-world leadership perspectives, not theory.

Speakers
Building the Agentic Enterprise
In this keynote, Sanjiva will define the agentic enterprise and explain why it represents a new North Star for enterprise software. As AI agents become first-class actors across enterprise systems, organizations need to rethink how they design, operate, and govern their digital platforms.
Speakers
Dr. Sanjiva Weerawarana is the founder and CEO of WSO2. With a background in IBM Research, he co-authored key Web services standards. Sanjiva's commitment to open source led him to establish the Lanka Software Foundation and contribute to Apache projects. He's also an educator and an influential advocate for open source participation from developing nations. His journey is one of innovation and leadership in reshaping the software industry.
How WSO2 Forward Deployed Engineers Help You Build an Agentic Enterprise
Agentic AI is a different kind of IT project. The ground moves under you and models improve every few months. Your organization's thinking on what to automate shifts as soon as the first agents ship. New failure modes appear that no runbook covers. Traditional 2-5-year roadmaps break under that kind of pressure.
That reality breaks the way enterprise software has historically been delivered. Fixed-scope statements of work, quarterly checkpoints, and a clean handover from vendor to customer assume a stable target. Agentic AI does not give you one.
To the Partners Who Made 2025 Count
WSO2's global partner ecosystem is one of the most important parts of how we operate. Once a year, we take the time to say so out loud.
WSO2 operates across markets that are genuinely difficult to serve from the center. Different industries, regulatory environments, languages, customer expectations, and the kind of local knowledge and trust that customers require takes years to build. Our partner ecosystem is how we reach those markets well.
Reliability at Scale: A Review of WSO2’s 2025 Customer Sentiment
In the enterprise technology landscape, consistency is often the hardest metric to maintain. At WSO2, we view our customer feedback as a critical North Star, guiding our commitment to providing transparent, high-performance API, integration, and identity solutions.
We are pleased to announce our latest customer survey results for the second half of 2025 (H2). These figures not only reflect a successful six-month period but also cap off a year of remarkable stability in our global customer relationships.
