Hi there. We have been using the GPRS client here in Zambia for about 6 months now. We currently have about 200+  mobiles (and growing)  in the field reporting about 20 data elements (only) on a weekly basis. In general, we have had very few problems technical problems. We have worked very closely with the developers however to work out a few bugs and issues, but all in all this has been really very minor stuff. 

The system is being used specifically for targeted facilities for monitoring of logistics and surveillance to support the National Malaria Control Programme. There has been significant interest from neighboring countries (Botswana, Tanzania as well as Senegal) which means that coordination among efforts is particular important as we move forward. 

As Knut says, establishing a firm DHIS2 backbone is key. We opted for a cloud-based solution, which simplifies a number of issues and mitigates a number of risks. I would encourage you to consider the same approach. 


Regards,
Jason

 quite useful. The field introduction has so far mostly been SMS based, 
but we feel that mobile internet (GPRS, 3G) will be a better option in 
most cases. It is still early days, and I am involved in the planning of
 future solutions. We hope to have a first version of a WAP or Opera 
Mini type solution for simple facility reporting (aggregate date) as 
part of the 2.5 release in October. Quite a bit more development is 
planned for the next 6 months, which will also touch on name based 
solutions (DHIS Tracker).

Also, before introducing any mobile solutions, it is quite important to 
implement a solid DHIS2 back bone, and make sure the roll out works 
well. So I think this should wait until after the switch to DHIS2 as the
 new HMIS.
