{{IMSMANG}} is designed to support information management in a decentralised context involving many users and groups at various sites. These users can include implementing partners, mine action operators and regional or decentralised mine action authorities. Decentralising information management within {{IMSMANG}} is easy and allows information managers to expand the scope and impact of information on mine action activities. While {{IMSMANG}} supports nearly any conceivable patterns for decentralised information exchange including multilateral exchange, peer-to-peer exchange and one- and two-direction exchange, the most prevalent pattern is that of a central mine action authority (CMA) and subordinate regional mine action authorities (RMAs). Much of the discussion of maintaining a decentralised {{IMSMANG}} system refers to this typical example; however, many points apply to other information exchange patterns as well.
