Release 2024-04
Release Note
Beta Test
The openIMIS Initiative opens up the Beta testing phase to a wider audience. You are now able to play around with new features before the product is even released. Of course, some features might not work as expected at this stage, but you are helping the team achieve a higher quality level by reporting the bugs that you might find. The developers' committee has again bundled an exiting mix of updates and additions into this release:
The merger with the CORE-MIS software from The WorldBank has further evolved. openIMIS can now cover the basic processes of a full social protection delivery chain from intake and simple targeting to payout of benefits.
The team from Nepal has again contributed a number of features back into the main package that proved useful during daily work with the system.
Many bug fixes and performance improvements were applied based on feedback from the field.
Improvement of the mobile apps.
