Thanks Ryan for your quick response. I was also thinking the same that upgrade will be an issue. Regarding gaps, our main concern is that we have around 5 page borrower registration form which have a lot of input fields but we are unable to find a way to enter these fields in MIFOS. If there is a workaround/solution for this than we can go ahead. After that we would be requiring some customized reports but I think we can do it easily by querying MySql database and showing frontend of reports at some place other than MIFOS.
Thanks.
