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)


Architecture


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


Development Highlights

Using DNN the development was done very quickly and efficiently

A system capable of handling all the data and with ease of access

The detailed requirement gathering was done that helped setting up a well-designed system

Web usability guidelines were strictly followed during development

Site was developed and fully functional within a span of 6 months

Client’s ASP.Net based legacy systems were integrated with the DNN portal

Allowed users to log into the second application without having to enter credentials again
