UK-based Fern Software recently informed MicroCapital that it has implemented its Abacus financial management information system (MIS) in two additional languages: in Arabic for a microfinance institution (MFI) in Jordan and in French for an MFI in Tunisia. Fern’s software packages are also available in editions for speakers of English, Indonesian and Spanish. The names of the MFIs have not been released.
Founded in 1979, Fern has 300 customers in 25 countries as of 2015. Its offerings include functionality to manage services such as mobile money, automated teller machines, multiple currencies and remotely hosted operations. One such software-as-a-service is the Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (SME) Financial and Technical Support system, which is run by 25 community development finance institutions in Canada. Fern’s other clients include a range of institution types, such as development banks, commercial banks and mortgage lenders.
