Core elements of an IMSMA include a <abbr title="Open source object-relational database management system">PostgreSQL</abbr> database engine and a geographic information system (GIS) for displaying information model on maps. Its [[Understanding 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 implementing in IMSMANGlarge 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 chapter covers includes the pieces in detail and provides guidance [[IMSMA Staging Area]] for advanced analytics and suggestions to information managers for making key decisions when establishing IMSMANG reporting as their information management systemwell more common tools like [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 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]. Significant attention should be paid when setting up and customising IMSMA to make sure that it is adapted to the needs of all staff and external stakeholders.
