Planning
A new intuitive dashboard design
overhaul was done in order to attract its end-users
Clear visibility on important areas
A 3-tier architecture approach was decided
Requirements into Consideration
Looking at the cost factor
The Brainvire team decided to implement DotNetNuke (DNN) for
allowing client to manage portal content

Architecture
BAL:
Business Access Layer contains the business logics, validations
related to data.
PL:
Presentation Layer contains .asp or html where data is presented to
the user and inputs are taken from the user.
DAL:
Data Access 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 (insert, delete, update)

The main advantages of the 3-Tier Architecture are:
Flexibility 3-Tier architecture makes the application much more
flexible to changes
Maintainability Changes to the components in one layer have no
effect on any others 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,
makes it easier to increase reliability of a system
