Product Viability & Costing

Resonance and VillageReach are working together to determine product viability and costing for enhancements to OpenLMIS. As part of the OpenLMIS Sustainability project, this effort will help determine whether there are additional use cases, new customers, partners, and/or revenue streams that are viable for OpenLMIS; and evaluate the attainability and feasibility of those opportunities.

The objectives of this effort are to:

• Establish a framework for comparing workflows and discussing module applicability for other sectors / uses
• Ensure messaging to potential partners and customers is accurate, consistent, and easily digestible
• Determine the costs associated with potential product changes to OpenLMIS
• Inform strategy and decision-making
• Support initial prototyping.

Please send any feedback or comments to kcouri@resonanceglobal.com.
