Deployment Case Studies

Want to learn from other MFIs that have deployed Mifos? Want to share your knowledge with the community?

Here's how. These pages serve as live case studies to share lessons learned and best practices from your deployment. Create your own deployment case study ; for each stage of the deployment you can post any challenges you overcame, advice for others, and templates/tools you used.
Ideally you will maintain this case study while deployment is ongoing but if you're deployment is already complete, this a great place to do a post-mortem analysis of the deployment.
