ERP Architecture

 

Any information system has three basic components, viz., the Data Management, the Application Logic, and the Presentation. These components can be built with the client server role definitions.  The client is a user and the server provides the service required by the user to run the system.  Since, the information needs are dynamically changing, the architecture required is to separate the data and its management from its application.  The user requires the choice of using the data as it suits him the most. Hence the application logic has to be separate from the data.  There is variability in the manner how the application logic is developed and presented.

 

Since, the ERP is a generic solution for the business operations, in each case of implementation; customization should suit the specifics of the business or customer.  The architecture choice is influenced by this requirement.
