Welcome to the Implementation Starter Kit page, which provides useful information, training resources and tools to get you started with installing and deploying OpenIMIS openIMIS in your system. We have compiled these resources with the aim of providing an overview of the requirements of the system and walk you through learning tools we have at hand as your organization takes the OpenIMIS openIMIS path to digitalizing your business processes.
If you feel that you require more familiarity with OpenIMISopenIMIS, you can browse through the Material for Communication and Starter Kit in this Wiki.
Getting Started
When implementing OpenIMIS openIMIS it is important to look at the bigger picture to see where policy, process, practice and technology come together. This holistic view will enable you to assess what type of changes (policy, process or technology) need to happen at each level of the implementation process and how these impact each other. Decisions can then be made on the approach to OpenIMIS openIMIS implementation (design and planning) which will impact on customisation/configuration requirements and the project timelines and budget.
Within the context of OpenIMIS openIMIS we recommend that implementation includes: resource planning, workflow review, system (OpenIMISopenIMIS) deployment, training/capacity building and change management. This page is relevant with regard to training/capacity building and offers assessment tools as a prerequisite to resource planning.
Support of the

openIMIS Global Initiative
While providing recommendations for implementation approach the openIMIS Global Initiative does not implement OpenIMIS openIMIS itself. The OpenIMIS openIMIS Global Initiative focuses on developing and maintaining the OpenIMIS openIMIS software, building an open source community and promoting OpenIMIS openIMIS as an open source option for health financing in low resource settings. The OpenIMIS openIMIS Global Initiative provides the openIMIS software free of charge, as well as providing advice on how to conduct requirements gathering processes and implementation methodologies.
The OpenIMIS openIMIS Global Initiative does not provide financial nor direct support for:
Country level requirements definition
Country specific software customisation/configuration of OpenIMIS openIMIS
Implementation activities
Operational costs of using OpenIMIS openIMIS system
Your organisation will need to make the investment or find partners in further advancing the adoption of OpenIMIS openIMIS in your system.

We have provided in the Implementation Steps the details in rolling out OpenIMISopenIMIS.
The implementation steps indicated are part of an ideal approach that we would suggest. Some steps can be undertaken in parallel but ideally the stages of Assessment & Planning, Adaptation, Pilot and Scale-up should be in the given sequence.
