This project would lead the creation of excel or csv-based data import tools for both migration initial data into Mifos as well as bulk imports of data on an ongoing basis such as new clients, new loans, bulk transactional data, etc. This tool is especially important in helping facilitate the migrations from our current software, Mifos 2.6, to our next generation platform, Mifos X.
