A simple map is constructed to meet the needs of one specific group of users, who have similar
requirements. For example, you can construct a simple map designed specifically for an accounting
department that consists of one main menu item called “Windows XP with accounting software” and all of
the required operating system and application modules inserted under it. The following illustration shows the
tree structure associated with a simple map constructed solely for an accounting department.

A complex map is constructed to meet the needs of several groups of users, each of which have unique
requirements. For example, you can construct a complex map that contains menu items for languages,
operating systems, and department names. The following illustration is a conceptual view of a base-map
tree structure associated with a complex map constructed for several departments, in several languages.
This illustration provides an overall view of how modules can be organized in a complex base map, if you
were able to view the map in its entirety.
