Guatemalan MFI now running on MicroPlanet Technologies' hybrid-SaaS platform

MicroPlanet offers Microfinance Institutions access to robust core banking software (tailored for microfinance) and support under a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model. 

This hy-SaaS solution allows MFIs to “rent” software on an on-demand basis, thus avoiding large upfront license fees and providing flexibility to scale up as they grow.

A hybrid-SaaS solution addresses the vagaries of having to operate in an environment where Internet connectivity is good to sub-par. This enables the MFI to continue to operate even when connectivity to the hosted environment is down.
