Frank, If you are considering supporting multiple processes, I would take some time to get familiar with Mifos Roles + Permissions options. That would really be your best way to map to those different processes, creating role types that are specific to each of your countries.
As for connectivity, another thing to consider is if there are decent connections within a reasonable distance of the MFI office. For instance, you could send all the collection sheets with one person to enter at a nearby cyber café. Also, Mifos will work for a single user over a 56k modem connection and most cellular modems (as long as you have a decent connection). Another thing you should be aware of is that currently, Mifos does not support multiple currencies. If you are collecting more than one currency, that is another reason to consider using multiple instances of Mifos.
