{{TOC right}}__NOEDITSECTION__DISPLAYTITLE:<span style==What is IMSMA?==IMSMA<sup>NG</sup> is an information management system designed to support the complex information management needs of the mine action community. Core elements of IMSMA<sup>NG</sup> include a MySQL database for storing and tracking mine action information and the various relationships among the data, a geographic information system "position: absolute; clip: rect(GIS1px 1px 1px 1px) 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 small programmes with one or two users as well as networked installations for [[Image; clip:IMSMANG Video.jpg|thumb|left|350px|link=http://www.gichd.org/fileadmin/user_upload/video/IMSMA_demo_video/Demo_final.swf|alt=Watch the demo video|'''''Click on the image to watch the rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);">{{IMSMANGFULLPAGENAME}} demo video''''']] large programmes with 50 or more users distributed across multiple sites and organisations.
