1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION


    1. System Overview

MPERS is a web enabled system accessed with the General Login System (GLS). The menu is dynamically built based on the function that a user’s role may have access to.


This system broadly keeps track of the following information about Microlenders, Microloans and Microborrowers:


  • Microlender Information – Lender Name, Address, Phone and Fax Numbers, Program Start Date, and Program End Date.

  • Microloan Information – Identifying information about loans that the Microlender makes. This includes Portfolio status information, percent of woman ownership in business, Loan Amount, Interest Rate and Terms, Number of Hours, Organization Type, NAICS Code, Urban/Rural Code, Number of Employees Created and Retained, SBA Loan Number and Lender Loan Number.

  • Microborrower Information – Identifying information about borrowers (businesses or people) who receive loans from Microlenders. This includes Tax Id number, Name, Address, Phone and Fax Numbers, Date the Business was formed, Veterans Status, and Ethnicity.


The system will be completely redesigned using Cold Fusion 5.0, accessing a Sybase database.
