Beanplanet awarded contract to redevelop Wiley InterScience portal
1 July 2010
Beanplanet has been awarded a contract to redevelop what is currently the InterScience portal into the new Wiley Online Library. The InterScience portal is an online sevice that provides access to over 3 million articles, 1500 journals and 7000 books and other major reference works. Wiley Online will be accessed by over 800,000 unique users per day and receive some 30M hits per day from that user base. Its users will access content from all over the world and the project will be a coordinated effort between New York, London and Singapore.
Gary Watson, CEO of Beanplanet Limited said:
"InterScience is a very successful online service that has been running for over 13 years and the new Wiley Online Library system will build on that success to deliver even more reference content for study, teaching and advanced research. If you've been to University or college the chances are you've used InterScience already.
This will be a fully agile project that will adopt the pair programming approach to development with separate teams for infrastructure, development, deployment and testing."
