Goals
- Tools to enable far-reaching field operations in remote areas including mobile, tablet, and offline devices.
Background and strategic fit
Many of our customers work in rural and outlying regions and need their field operations staff to be connected to their clients and their data at all times. They need access to data on and offline and to have the full power of Mifos X in their mobile devices so they can reduce the costs of serving their clients.
Assumptions
- For smartphones and tablets, we will primarily design and build for the Android operating system given the ubiquity of the platform, low cost of devices and extensibility of the platform.
- Ability for data collection needs to be available on and offline - while connectivity is rapidly expanding, many of our customers still require offline data entry
- Offline data entry will be centered around mobile devices but our customers still require browser-based solutions for offline data capture.
- Mobile financial services is separate from mobile field operations and is a separate topic
- Mobile field operations is focused on the operational staff of the financial institution and is separate from mobile banking which is client-facing.
