Hi All, As part of our detailed gap analysis, we are trying to figure out ways to get the existing data (manual) into mifos. I searched on the website and also the mailing list to get some ideas. I found a link http://mifos.org/knowledge/deployment-project-pages/grameen-koota/data-migra tion but it does not have anything listed. Are there some other documentation with regards to this. I am looking at Kettle to see how to integrate it but i am not too familiar with it. Here are some things we are trying to address, please provide your input as to how these are being accomplished by others.. 1. We would like to import all the client information from a csv file (client demographics, Group information, Center information, Branch information), or something similar, has anyone written scripts to do this? 2. How to import existing loans into the system a. Old loans that have been completed. - Do we import all the previous loan cycles (does mifos even allow this, I mean how will all of the different transactions related to a loan be updated)? b. Loans that are ongoing but have installments remaining. 3. Should we have a standard process for migration into Mifos? What i mean is that regardless of the existing system, we have standard formats (csv, xml?) that can be imported into mifos through import scripts. So the only thing MFIs would have to consider is dumping out their existing data in the format recognized by mifos. Thanks Soham
