What steps are concretely required in order to get information out of raw data? If IMSMA
NG is used for collecting and storing data, a reporting database called
staging area can be generated using the
staging area generator (SAG). This is a "flat" version of the IMSMA database that is directly and easily accessible for
MINT, Geo-analysis tools or any
other reporting and analysis tool, such as Tableau and Excel. If the raw data is not in IMSMA, but in another database or in spreadsheets, MINT (and other tools) can also connect to it - contact your
GICHD IM focal point for investigating a specific use case.
