| style="color:#000;" | <div id="mp-tfa" style="padding:2px 5px">IMSMA<sup>NG</sup> The '''Information Management System for Mine Action''' is an information management system a software designed to support the complex information management needs of the mine action communityfor decision support, monitoring and reporting. Core elements of IMSMA<sup>NG</sup> include a MySQL [[PostGRS]] database for storing engine and tracking mine action information and the various relationships among the data, a geographic information system (GIS) for analyzing and displaying geospatial information on maps and a reporting tool for generating reports of the data stored in the system. Its client-server architecture enables stand-alone installations to support for small programmes with one or two users [[mine action programme]]s as well as networked installations for large programmes with 50 or more many users distributed across multiple sites and organisations. Additionally, IMSMA<sup>NG</sup> can be paired with several connected to supporting components that directly interact with the IMSMA<sup>NG</sup> system. This includes an online Mine action INTelligence tool ([[MINT]]) for advanced analytics and reporting as well more common tools like [[Microsoft Excel]].
[[Core Design Concepts|Designed with ''flexibility to support a range of uses'' and ''usability'']] at heart, IMSMA<sup>NG</sup> is very adaptable and can also be continuously customised by individual programmes to suit their changing information management needs. This includes defining the type of mine action data to store in IMSMA<sup>NG</sup> and the relationships among the types, the forms used to enter the data into collect information in the system field and the workflows that match the current or desired information model- such as for instance [[land release]]. So, significant Significant attention must should be paid when setting up and customising IMSMA<sup>NG</sup> to support a programme’s information management needs and make sure that it is adapted to get the most out needs of the systemall staff and external stakeholders.''</div>
