This document discusses CIP's evaluation and potential migration to GRIN-Global. It notes that CIP visited CIMMYT to see a demonstration of GRIN-Global in 2011. In 2012, CIP conducted a Phase I evaluation by migrating 2000 accessions and their data to GRIN-Global. In 2013, Phase II involved training genebank users and receiving feedback on new features. The document outlines CIP's proposed full migration and integration process with GRIN-Global in 2016, including migrating passport and inventory data. It also includes a technical comparison matrix of how GRIN-Global could integrate with various in-house CIP systems.
