The IT partners sounds good.
I would hold off on infosys for two reasons:
- The web interface should be considered alpha as it really has not
had proper testing, e.g. multiple people using at same time, stress
testing, etc.
From the logs, it looks like less than a dozen people have ever
logged into the web interface.
- Over the next couple of weeks, the web interface will get additional
development time and thus will be improved.
As a compromise, how about if we extend the below list to include
consultants/developers who do not really need the full Scopus GUI.
Summary: Let's give it a few weeks (should be less than a month) before
inviting infosys.
