Crizelle,

just for curiosity, is this somehow linked to the old eBHRIMS 
(eBotswanaHIVResponseInfoMngtSystem or something like that) from a few 
years back? It was a local company that was hired by UNAIDS to develop 
such a switchboard, as it was also called then, between CRIS2 and 
DHIS1.4. It was an early stab at interoperability, where the switchboard 
allowed you to navigate between DHIS data entry screens and CRIS 
reports, helping you with the few steps of export/import. Would be 
interesting to hear if this was developed further, or if it has 
influenced the decision to make a new switchboard.

Regards,
Johan
