Mifosとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Mifos is an initiative of the Grameen Foundation and the financial software that it produces for the microfinance industry. The software provides key functionality for microfinance institutions: client management, portfolio management, loan repayment tracking, fee and savings transactions, and reporting . (The name "Mifos" originally came from an acronym "Micro Finance Open Source", but is now used as the name, rather than an acronym.) The product is supporting more than 850,000 microfinance clients across 28 microfinance institutions as of June 2011 and continues to grow its presence across the globe. To further enhance the reach of the product, Grameen Foundation launched Mifos Cloud in July 2010. On June 1, 2011, Grameen Foundation announced that it would be ending its direct involvement with the Mifos Initiative and transitioning it to a completely community-led project. Transition to the community is underway; as part of this transition its Mifos Cloud service was discontinued.
