Software as a Service (SaaS) becomes in this decade the focus of many enterprises and research. SaaS
provides software application as Web based delivery to server many customers. This sharing of
infrastructure and application provided by Saas has a great benefit to customers, since it reduces costs,
minimizes risks, improves their competitive positioning, as well as seeks out innovative. SaaS application is
generally developed with standardized software functionalities to serve as many customers as
possible.However many customers ask to change the standardized provided functions according to their
specific business needs, and this can be achieve through the configuration and customization provided by
the SaaS vendor.Allowing many customers to change software configurations without impacting others
customers and with preserving security and efficiency of the provided services, becomes a big challenge to
SaaS vendors, who are oblige to design new strategies and architectures. Multi-tenancy (MT) architectures
allow multiple customers to be consolidated into the same operational system without changing anything in
the vendor source code. In this paper, we will present how the configuration can be done on an ERP web
application in a Multi-Tenancy SaaS environment.

2. Introduction
Need of integrated systems that can improve their
quality, customer satisfaction, performance, and
profit.
ERP is business management software that is
designed to integrate data sources and processes of
an entire organization into a combined system.
An incorporated real-time view of its core business
processes such as production, planning,
manufacturing, inventory management, and
development
Super multi-module application software that
integrates activities across functional departments
such as production planning, purchasing, inventory
control, product distribution, and order tracking
3. ERP Market
In the early sixties, at the beginning SAP
capitalized on innovations in client-server
computing to be the leader in the ERP
market.
Later, database standardization by Oracle
and Microsoft had a great impact on
enterprise modules integration such as
CRM.
In addition, the beginning of web based
software (SaaS) made a decrease in ERP
system deploy cost and made ERP system
to become the latest enterprise application
to be available as a cloud. SaaS simplified
the adoption of ERP and the extensibility of
existing deployments.
4. ERP Market Contd.
ERP Market is dominated by large vendors
including SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft.
Many ERP vendors had a strong presence
among small to mid-sized enterprises market
such as Sage, SAP, Oracle, Microsoft,
Dynamics, NetSuite, Epicor, and Openbravo.
ERP market vendor landscape where based
on business size categories which are:
vendors serving large businesses such as
Oracle and SAP that provide ERP software
for multi- language, multi-facility, billion-dollar
enterprises, vendors serving mid-sized
businesses such as Infor, Sage, and Epicor,
and vendors serving small businesses where
Epicor are the front runners in this segment.
5. Traditional ERP Design
Traditional ERP designs were implemented
and made a conceptual framework for next-
generation and future ERP systems.
6. Two-tier (client/server)
architecture
ERP architecture design was based on
client/Server processing which means that
processed work will be divided between two
computers Client and Server. Client is the
presentation logic for users while Server is
the processing and storage logic.This
design was named Two-tier architecture.
8. Two-tier (client/server)
architecture
Before Two-tier appeared, Single-instance ERP
systems were used.
Single-instance ERP was very expensive and
takes too long to arrange organizational change
with business models, competitive pressures,
needs and global customer demands.
Therefore, two-tier ERP made a business
solution at that time.
It introduced new ERP that was a bit lower in
cost, higher in processing, and direct in
communication.
9. Two-tier ERP drawbacks
Performance will decrease as number of
clients increase
No database change or modification can
be added and limited flexibility in functions
movement from server to another.
Two-tier architecture design was used by
many vendors such as Epicor, NetSuite,
Openbravo, SAP, and Microsoft.
10. Three-Tier architecture
Three-tier ERP architecture was introduced as
a solution for two-tier ERP problems.
It consists of three layers such as Presentation
layer (Graphical User Interface (GUI)),
Application layer, and database layer.
Presentation Layer is where data is presented
for clients.
Application layer is responsible for distributing
requests across different applications servers
and for business logic execution. Furthermore,
Application layer acts as an interface that
facilitate communication between Database
layer and User interface (presentation layer).
Database layer is responsible of data storage,
edit, add, and delete.
12. Three-Tier architecture
Three-tier architecture presents new technologies
such as database server and its ability to modify
data within server.
In addition, Application server distribution among
varies applications in also a new advantage added
to the architecture design.
Three-tier architecture is more scalable, reliable,
and flexible. It provides easier implementation to
reusable components.
On the other hand, Three-tier architecture has a
complex and a bit expensive design.
Three-tier architecture design was used by SAP
vendor named SAP R/2, also Epicor, Oracle, and
Microsoft used it.
13. Web-based architecture
With entrance of internet widely in technology
world, ERP system developer improved ERP
system to coop with internet and web changes.
Web based ERP design focused on new
technology arises and on migration from
Client/server architecture to web-based
client/server architecture.
14. Web-based architecture
It is consists of three layers user interface (web
browser), web server, and application/data server.
User interface layer moved from GUI interface to
web browser interface.
Web server is responsible for HTML, and ASP
transactions and act as a gateway between
Application/data server and user interface (web
browser).
Web application/ data server is responsible for
application distribution and database storage.
16. Web-based architecture
Web-based architecture has multi-tier client-server
architecture .
The Web browser is the user interface (client), while
the Web server reads and answers the client
requests by sending back Web pages.
Distant applications and databases can be
accessed by the browser through a Web server
gateway.
Middle-tier communication software layer is perform
extracting and sending parameters passed through
the HTTP protocol to the remote application and
formatting the results into Web pages.
17. Web-based architecture
Web-based architecture introduced web-based
systems technology that was used for the first time in
ERP systems and introduced new Web-based Object-
Oriented Model (WOOM).
This new technology allows system-to-system
integration that facilitates processes between multiple
systems.
In addition, Web-based architecture reaches higher
performance because of web server layer that
integrate ERP applications with existing systems and
web browser.
This architecture design makes faster client/server
response, improve data integrity, perform easier
modifications, and higher flexibility. Web-based
architecture main drawback is system security and
internet security. Web-based architecture design was
used by SAP named SAP R3, also used by Microsoft,
Oracle, NetSuite, and many other vendors that tried to
use and implement their ERP systems based on it.
18. Technologies and trends
affecting ERP development
Web technologies - They enabled ERP to be more dynamic
and customer-centric. In addition, many online services were
established such as e-commerce and e-business. These web
services supported ERP to contribute in web business and move to
be web based system.
New programming Language - Programming
language is the transformation key of ERP on which the development
of it positively affects ERP growth and improvement. In addition,
programming language is the element that made ERP progress from
Client/Application to Client/ Server integrated system. Through the
enlargement of programming language to web programming such as
XML, PHP; ERP implemented new versions that support web
services and applications.
19. Web-based System
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) became more critical by
adding new internet model.
Internet implemented new ERP model which is Web-based
Object-Oriented Model (WOOM) which is using internet
component and technology as object oriented models for
quicker, faster implementation and customization.
WOOM made a new generation of ERP called web-based
ERP. In addition, WOOM made ERP system defined in term
of objects that is represented under object oriented method
based on real world entities such as organizations, events, or
individual role.
Web-based ERP system has the capabilities of internet
access and real time information that result more efficient and
accurate business. Moreover, Web- based ERP provide
companies data about supply chain and help facilitate e-
commerce transactions.
21. Mobile Applications
The increase in mobility users made enterprises figure
and recognize the importance of extending their ERP
system to mobile applications that provide employees
internal system access while mobility.
Mobile ERP applications transformed the way
businesses engage with customers, partners, and staff
by using invented applications that enhance and
accelerate the exchange of critical information.
It has many advantages which are: improve quality of
service, reach greater productivity, wider business
relationship and customer engagement, competitive
advantage, and always accessible.
Nowadays, most ERP vendors have mobile applications
such as SAP ERP system. SAP vendor recently
developed mobile business suite application that makes
easier access mobility.
22. Cloud Computing
Cloud computing is a network based service model
that enable on demand network access to a shared
pool of configurable computing resources such as
servers that can rapidly entered.
In addition, it is a model that provides special
services over the internet; this service could be
server, storage, or software.
The entrance of this technology made a quick
change in ERP systems on which ERP vendors
started to implement their ERP systems based on
cloud computing models and services. Cloud ERP
has many advantages which are less staff, Mobility,
easy expandable, cost reduction, and fewer
expenses. Business challenges and customer need
for cloud technology made Cloud ERP on demand
23. Characteristics of Cloud
Computing:
Dynamic computing infrastructure
IT service-centric approach
Self-service based usage model
Minimally or self-managed platform
Consumption-based billing
24. Advantages of Cloud
Computing:
Cost Efficient
Almost Unlimited Storage
Backup and Recovery
Automatic Software Integration
Easy Access to Information
25. Cloud Computing
Cloud ERP is hosting an ERP system over the
cloud. This hosting is done through two models
IaaS (Infrastructure as a service) and SaaS
(Software as a Service).
IaaS means buy need Infrastructures over the
cloud such as servers.
SaaS means its buying or renting services over
the cloud such as storage or software's.
SaaS is used in cloud ERP on which it takes the
responsibility of organizing and managing IT
infrastructure (such as servers, operating
systems, databases) and processes that are
required to run a full solution.
27. Security issues
ERP framework and architecture contains
different vulnerability in all the levels from
network to application.
This means that ERP need to add security
modules to all architecture levels in order to
reach compatible security.
28. In-memory Computing
SAP ERP system defines in-memory computing as" a new
technology that enables the analysis of very large non-
aggregated data at unparalleled speed in local memory".
In-memory computing technology main focus is to store data
in primary column format that can compress and store huge
amount of information in main memory.
Furthermore, this technology facilitate parallel processing in
multi core architecture by moving intensive data calculations
from the application layer into database layer that end up
with faster processing.
In-memory technology arise made ERP vendors chose it as
a solution that improve their ERP systems.
SAP is one of those vendors who invented a new ERP
system that support in-memory computing.
29. Framework of new ERP Design
ERP system play an important role in any business
environment wither it’s a small, medium, or large
organization.
Most ERP system developers and vendors are trying to
implement and expand their ERP systems. This is because;
new ERP systems implementation will reduce general
administrative cost, get better resource utilization, will
reduce wastes, reduce decision making time, and
reduce operational cost.
Furthermore, new ERP system implementation means new
or more ERP modules will be added and supported by the
system. ERP developers during implementation focus on
new system performance and cost reduction also on user
friendly interface, secured information, efficient and
enhanced technology.
These new systems were based on traditional ERP system
architecture design such as web- based architecture.
30. New ERP designs:
Fast development of technology and
information systems created-
Six-tier ERP
Cloud ERP
Mobile ERP
31. Six-tier ERP
Six-tier architecture design combines three-
tier architecture design and added its own
new models.
Six- tier architecture consists of six which
are:
1. data access layer (DAL)
2. business logic layer (BLL)
3. data service layer (DSL)
4. data mapping layer (DML)
5. components layer (CL), and
6. application layer (AL).
32. Six-tier ERP
Components Later (CL)
Data Service Layer (DSL)
Business Logic Layer (BLL)
Data Access Layer (DAL)
Database
33. Six-tier ERP
System is divided into two sections; client and
server.
Client section contains Application layer and
component layer. Each layer has its own function
that supports the other layers.
Component layer is responsible for data
availability for data mapping layer and data
handling based on logic relationship between
modules.
Application Layer contains different components
that are provided component layer which support
final system result shown to the users.
Server section contains four layers that also
support each other's.
34. Six-tier ERP
Data access layer (DAL) primarily responsible for
original data receive and send, it support business
logic layer.
Business logic layer (DLL) focuses on domain logic
and system implement associated with business
need and business process implementation.
Data service layer (DSL) main responsibility is to get
data from business logic layer or get data from data
mapping layer to be processed by business logic
layer. In addition, this layer can make decoupling
between the data application of the upper levels and
the data access and the data handling of the bottom.
Data Mapping Layer (DML) main function is to
construct communication among the data elements
of two different data models. Its final mission is to
reach data integration.
35. Six-tier ERP
Six-tier architecture the main focus was to make sure that the
clients only see the application and components layer while other
layers are transparent to clients and users.
Traditional/three-tier system architecture was developed for
windows PC system but technology development force systems
to migrate from one hardware or software platform to another.
System migration cost used to be very high.
In six-tier the architecture of separated application layer from the
other layers solve migration problems effectively.
This will improve platform transplantation and system integration.
As a result, this will reduce system development and
maintenance cost that’s caused by system migration.
Six-tier architecture solved one of the biggest problems in three-
tier architecture which is providing system decoupling.
System decupling reduce maintenance cost and make the
system more flexible and make system components less
dependable on each other's. Six-tier architecture can make
components-based development on which any two or more
components later components can form a new application system
based on business logic or requirements.
36. Cloud ERP
Cloud computing entrance made a complete
change in enterprises or organizations using
ERP systems. ERP moved to cloud ERP
because of its improvements, benefits, and
flexible system features.
Cloud ERP is an approach to enterprise
resource planning that use cloud computing
platforms and services to make business
process transformation more flexible
In this approach there are three important
layers that do cloud services which are
Infrastructure as a service (IaaS), Platform as a
service (PaaS), Software as a service (SaaS),
and Hardware as a service (HaaS).
38. Cloud modules layers
Implementing these models in ERP systems
will make organizational change from financial
and operative perspectives.
SaaS module offer low initial cost, low IT
resources, low time spent on implementation.
It facilitates ERP system work and makes it
faster and easier to be developed and
implemented.
By using SaaS module users or clients will get
software service though internet connection
without the need to download massive
software or infrastructure. They only need to
rent web-based software from a service
provider on which it is responsible for the
operation.
39. Types of cloud
Public cloud, Private cloud, and Hybrid
cloud.
Public cloud can be accessed by different
users where they share common software,
hardware, and database.
Private cloud can be accessed by specific
user and flexible to a specific features to it.
Private cloud usually is more secure, offer
better quality of services, and better data
control.
Hybrid cloud is a combination of public and
private clouds but on- demand.
40. Advantages of Cloud ERP
Cloud ERP has many advantages such as lower
implementation cost, energy, and maintenance cost.
Its elasticity and flexibility is one of the major
advantages.
In addition, it offer easy implementation to customer
need and features, resource sharing and allocation
to different users.
Cloud ERP made easy migration to new
technologies and software’s provided and makes a
simpler cloud-based application that can be used
remotely by users.
Cloud computing has been used by most vendors of
ERP system and each vendor implemented their
own cloud ERP design. Vendors such as plex
system, NetSuite, Epicor, Oracle, Infor, SAP,
Microsoft, QAD, IQMS, Sage, and ProcessPro.
41. Mobile ERP
Mobile computing has become more popular area
where most ERP developers and vendors moved to
use it.
The main goal of mobile ERP is to make all ERP
functionalities available on various mobile phones
and wireless devices.
A Mobile ERP major technical requirement is
information presentation in multiple formats. This is
because mobile and wireless devices are
established to support different browsers that
support various media formats.
Accordingly, it is necessary to transport the content
in different markup languages such as WML,
XHTML or HTML. Mobile ERP architecture use
XML to store data which facilitates data exchange
and transformation to other formats.
42. Mobile ERP architecture
It is divided into four tiers-
Tier one: is ERP system database tier.
Tier two: is content access engine, cache storage,
and Remote Function Call (RFC) Server tier. This tier
is responsible for queries building depend on mobile
users request and data retrieve in XML format. RFC
server is used to enable begging business functions
of an ERP system remotely.
Tier three: is content extraction engine. This tier
takes charge to presentation logic and determines
type of browsers used by user's mobile devices.
Tier four: is the user interface tier where it
encompasses different mobile devices such as WAP-
enabled phones, and PDAs with their particular
browser and GUI.
44. Mobile ERP Advantages
Mobile ERP exceeds the technology borders, becoming
a pattern that provides the enterprise with clear
strategic business advantages, real time business
ability and in an event driven environment.
Mobile device improvements and wide wireless
bandwidth opened a new door to traditional efficiency
and productivity enhancements, cost reductions,
and high user satisfaction.
Nowadays, ERP vendors moved to use and develop
their ERP system under mobile computing technology.
Microsoft, SAP, and Oracle vendors are the most
powerful ERP systems that implemented their systems
into mobile computing technology. They developed
Mobile ERP systems because of its utilized
development tools. Furthermore, it makes an easier
and quicker to get ERP solutions into the indicators of
the mobile workforce.
45. What is a Distributed vs.
Local/Centralized Databases
A database is a system that converts a large collection of data into an
abstract tool, allowing users to search for and extract pertinent items of
information in a manner that is convenient to the user.”
A distributed database as a collection of multiple, logically
interrelated databases distributed over a computer network.” and is
managed by a distributed database management system, DDBMS
for short, This data will be distributed across numerous physical
locations as a result distributed databases can improve
performance and efficiency by allowing for transactions to be
processed on multiple machines, rather than one. To maintain all
distributed databases and have them up to date, two processes are
employed: duplication and replication.
A localized or centralized database is one in which a database is
stored, maintained, and located in a single location, Historically, this
was the first version of databases, that gave organizations the
ability to organize store data in one central location whereby
increasing the data’s integrity.
48. Advantages and Disadvantage
of Distributed Databases:
Advantages
Increased reliability and
availability
Faster response time
Scalability
Robust
Data Protection – In case of
disasters
Modality
Localization
Lower communication costs
(More Economical)
Disadvantages
Cost – more expensive to
implement
The operating system should
support a distributed
environment
Complex Software
Implementation
Increased Processing
overhead
Data integrity
Security
Deadlock is difficult to handle.
Handling failures is a difficult
task.
49. Advantages and Disadvantage of
Local/Centralized Databases:
Advantages
Data integrity is
maximized
Easier Implementation
Decreased Risk – data
is manipulated and
stored in one place
Single point of entry
Integration is easy
Upgrades, mirroring,
and backups are
easier.
Disadvantages
no two persons can
access the same data
Single Point of failure
Slower Response
Time — pending on
the size and
frequency of requests
50. Which Database is Better?
It is preferential to use a distributed rather than a
local database when multiple sites need data
synchronized and data will be manipulated at
each respective site. An example of which is a
banking system.
If all computers were localized in one building, A
local/centralized database would be preferential.
If all computers were spread across your country
It is feasible for a distributed database
configuration, as you can have one local site
and have all the other computers or sites
communicate with it.
51. What is Process Mapping?
The mapping of your business
processes captures, in diagrammatic
form, the tasks that an organisation
performs. It captures the transformation of
inputs into outputs, the flow of materials,
information and documents and
demonstrates the essential inter-relationships
and interdependence between the process
steps.
52. Process mapping
Business process mapping is the documentation of every
work in the company which is needed to perform a
particular task. It typically called as a step-by-step work
structure for manufacturing companies. Process mapping
helps manufacturers eliminate bottlenecks in a workflow,
allowing them make automated of workflow and be more
efficient.
Business Process Mapping determines the current state
of business and the desired future growth. With the
conclusion of the process mapping a company can have
solid goals for improvement. With the help of Business
Process Mapping we can have clear visibility of
optimized inventory, supply chain, sales forecasting and
adding real-time analytics to ensure better business
growth.
53. Key areas where process
mapping is done
(1) Present business process.
(2) Managing multiple business areas.
(3) Data migration.
(4) Responsibilities and changes.
(5) Software execution.
(6) Tasks and required resources.
(7) Internal administration.
54. Customer integration
ERP is the key to customer and supplier integration
In a global ERP. Enterprise system might not be the
same brand as customers' systems, but they all
communicate with each other over the Internet.
If a customer is planning a new product, we can
identify which components we can provide and begin
our own planning to meet that future unknown
demand.
There is no contract and no obligation on either side,
but there is plenty of communication. We also see the
planned purchase orders their ERP generates. Only
executed POs are contractual, but the visibility of
future planned increases and decreases will help us
provide for their needs even better.
55. Supplier integration
ERP filters out items we don't provide and
passes those potential demands to
suppliers. Suppliers also see planned
orders generated by ERP. This visibility is
understood to be a communication stream
designed to help the entire supply chain
act in an integrated fashion, benefiting
Enterprise and the final users of the
products. That communication extends
through every supplier.
56. Conclusion
ERP systems are based on multicore parallel computing
that facilitates and smooth ERP functions.
Web technologies and web services supported ERP
development and migration.
ERP through years moved from traditional ERP (MRP
systems) to move it to cloud and mobile ERP systems.
Technology trends development and vendors adaptations
moved ERP to new business world full of success and
realization.
Nowadays, business software companies can push the
edge of large scale of online transactions processing that
ERP can run smoothly. ERP system now can run millions
of transactions per seconds
