Hi, Thinili. As mentioned before, you can compare all of the features
and upcoming features of Mifos to any system or set of requirements, as
well as look to the deployment sections for samples of deployments under
way.
Note that on the listserv we don't compare particular software packages,
although Grameen Foundation and other organizations have analysis
toolkits available online. We also have a gap analysis template
available on our website at
http://mifos.org/knowledge/support-for-common-tasks/pre-deployment/what-
will-a-mifos-deployment-entail.
We typically recommend that an MFI does a thorough evaluation of what
they need, how they would implement, and if Mifos is a good fit.
Thanks.
