Changes

'''The making of IMSMA''' started in 1998. It was however not until 2004, to satisfy recurrent requests from our IMSMA users in the field, that the development of a fully re-engineered version was started. Compilation of all lessons learnt and users’ feedback were submitted to a tender competition process. The software development contract was eventually won by [[FGM Inc.]]Interoperability, flexibility and user-friendliness were three of the key words that laid down the foundation for the next generation of IMSMA – IMSMANGcalled IMSMA NG. This entailed moving away from somewhat rigid processes and methods towards a highly flexible and user-friendly information management system that could meet almost all local needs and requirements.
