Hey Giancarlo, The decision analysis over Fineract 1.x and CN is routinely asked by our client case studies at Muellners. There is relevant information over this analysis, that our research team did. https://docs.fineract.net/fineract-versions/fineract-1.x-vs-fineract-cn
>>Fineract 1.x is a mature platform (matured since 2018 releases for sure) being maintained by members of this community. Apache Fineract 1.x & CN are the only platforms that this community endorses. The documentation and GitHub repos are maintained by Apache FSF. One is mature while other is pre-release. https://github.com/apache/fineract Notably, it's a great strategy to START with Fineract 1.x as it can highlight features using the Mifos X client Web app. However, 1. Your Gap analysis should bring clarity for you as each implementation has a distinctive character. 2. You should take this decision based on factors guiding the transformation efforts & objectives, (that your MFI client has) and your own technical understanding of both versions' design principles. Note: I have observed many FIs having great difficulty in upgrading their Fineract services if a versioning plan is not in place during the implementation's foundation steps. This usually happens when Fineract is not the core platform and only handles a few IT components of a bank or MFI. E.g if your MFI is into lending, and you plan to use only lending management on Fineract while Loan origination is on a different platform. In this example, your implementation will face difficulty over both the short and the long term. If you decide to evaluate CN (say you have a 1-2 year plan in place): >> As Saransh pointed, community efforts on CN are practically non-existent currently. Then you can look for promoting development on CN. >> As Georgia pointed out, there is a significant improvement event under the title Finscale. This event started as a possible upgrade off Fineract CN last year, was presented at Apache Con 2020, and has become a lot more now. You should reach out to Saransh for more information on this. Hope this helps.
