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 concluded the current project phase. openIMIS has received additional and improved fundtionality to cover the basic processes of a full social protection delivery chain from intake and simple targeting to payout of benefits.

• A new module for Grievance Management was added as a joint contribution from the Gambian UHC Implementation and the CORE-MIS merger project.

• 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.

• Special investments were provided for security improvements.
