The first version of BOSS was developed in early 1980s even before "IBM PC" became popular. This version was a back-office solution. Later, in early 1990s an upgraded on-line version was released using Btrieve file management system.

The first user was Shreelaxmi Co-operative Bank Ltd., which extended its implementation to almost all its branches at Ahmedabad. This on-line version has been working successfully at large urban sites as well as a small rural site for over fifteen years.
Now a web enabled version of BOSS is planned to be developed. BOSS is designed to handle operations of the smallest branch to the biggest commercial branch as well as the Head Office of Cooperative banks with demonstrated capabilities to handle more than 10,000 transactions per day in one branch. Using this package, a bank can multiply its business without incurring costs on hiring more staff and deliver superior service to customers.
