Thanks, Elizabeth -- we run S&P’s Compustat and ExecuComp off the WRDS platform quite nicely.  Passing the NetAdvantage conundrum to Systems: looks like their cup of tea…

Pepperdine moved from S&P Market Insight to S&P Net Advantage last fall.  No problems have been reported to me.  I just checked and had no problem accessing an Industry Survey with either Internet Explorer or Firefox.  We use EZProxy and Jasig Central Authentication Service 3.4.2.1

“Industry Surveys” from Standard & Poor’s went online-only in July 2010 on S&P’s NetAdvantage platform.

 

The S&P IT technicians have been intensely working with us to get access problems resolved, but we do not think the problem is on our end.  This sub is over $3600 and, since we have had absolutely no success in getting IP access since July, we have requested a refund.

 

Has anyone had any success in getting access to any S&P titles on the NetAdvantage platform?

 

Thanks!
