7. Planning
http://www.brainvire.com
After taking all scenarios and requirements into consideration and
looking at the cost factor, the Brainvire team decided to implement
Asp.Net application for allowing client to manage the content.
A new intuitive design and site overhaul was done in order to
attract its end-users by giving them clear visibility on important
areas.
8. Architecture
http://www.brainvire.com
We used a 3-tier architecture which includes Presentation Layer (PL),
Business Access Layer (BAL) and Data Access Layer (DAL).
I.Business Access Layer:
This layer contains the business logics, validations related to data.
This layer also contains Model-View-Controller which efficiently relates
the user interfaces with the under lying data models.
I.Data Access Layer:
This layer contains MSSQL Server Database, Tables, Stored
Procedures and so on. It also helps Business Layer to connect the
data and perform required action by returning data or manipulating
data.

The main advantages of the 3-Tier Architecture are:
Flexibility – By separating the business logic
Maintainability – Changes to the components in one layer have no effect
on any other layers
Reusability – Separating the application into multiple layers makes it easier
to implement re- usable components
Scalability – 3-Tier architecture allows distribution of application
components across multiple servers
Reliability – 3-Tier architecture if deployed on multiple servers
