Core elements of IMSMA include a <abbr title="Open source object-relational database management system">PostgreSQL</abbr> database engine and a geographic information management needssystem (GIS) for displaying information on maps.''*Its [[About Information Management in Mine ActionUnderstanding Configuration Options| client/server architecture]]enables stand-alone installations for small [http://www.mineaction.org/ mine action programmes]*as well as client/server installations for large programmes with many users distributed across multiple sites and organisations. Additionally, IMSMA can be connected to supporting components that interact with the IMSMA system. This includes the [[IMSMA's Information Model and Key ConceptsStaging Area]]*[[Workflow for advanced analytics and Business Rules]]*reporting as well more common tools like [[System Configuration]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Excel Microsoft Excel].

[[Core Design Concepts|Designed with ''flexibility'' and ''usability'']] at heart, IMSMA is [[Portal:IMSMA_NG_Administration#Customisation|very adaptable and can be continuously customised]] by individual programmes to suit their changing information management needs. This section describes how includes defining the type of mine action data to store and the relationships among the types, the forms used to collect information in the field and the workflows - such as for instance [http://www.gichd.org/operations/land-release-and-operational-efficiency/overview/ land release].
