SaaS, Cloud, Microfinance & MFIs ... Affordable Access to Excellent Service

MicroPlanet offers affordable, robust, high quality SaaS service to MFIs: it manages & services all that cloud-based virtual stuff, hardware and software, to improve MFI's operations and servicing capability.

SaaS solution offers MFIs affordable access to set of robust technology related services, without the burden of having to manage & support it; 
MicroPlanet shoulders the burden of managing, servicing and supporting the MFI's daily technology (MIS) related needs.

SaaS reduces the financial burden on the MFI of having to incur heavy upfront capital costs for software and hardware, and significantly reduces the burden on the MFI of having to hire experienced IT staff;
Instead MFIs pay a small recurring monthly fee, a "rental" fee so to speak, which includes the aforementioned set of services. 

SaaS can be win-win for MFIs provided they partner with the right partner with the right experience and service delivery, and who offers a robust & scalable core banking (MIS) platform for regulated and non-regulated institutions.
