Management Information Systems for Microfinance: An Evaluation Framework
A framework for analyzing the quality of information systems
2 pages
This Management Information System (MIS) Evaluation Framework is developed for MFIs, donors, and other stakeholders, as well as systems developers, to address different objectives:
- MFIs can use it to evaluate off- the-shelf systems in their search for an appropriate solution;
- MFIs can use it to appraise the quality of their existing system (off-the-shelf or internally developed) to help identify improvements;
- External entities can use it to evaluate off- the-shelf or internally developed systems either to assist an MFI, identify alternatives, or as part of an institutional appraisal;
- Software developers and information system planners can use it to build better systems.
The framework consists of seven categories:
- Functionality;
- Expandability;
- Usability;
- Standards and compliance;
- Administration and support;
- Technical specifications and correctness;
- Cost.
