The components include three layers, Presentation, Business, and Persistence layers. The presentation layers are how to present the data to the users through the user interface like a Web browser. Then, the Business layer contains many business rules of the enterprise. The last layer is Persistence layer that use to store all the data that the users need like a database systems.

In addition, the development tools were suggested. The development tools must be used for ease of code sharing and consistency in the code base like XML and Java.

The solution of the organization was success because they made a good standard. Communicating and interaction with users make the standard. Then the product is suitable to the users.

Communicating and interaction with users can let us know what the users’ requirement. It is better if we can provide some trial versions of the application to them. Then we ask them about their feeling and any improvement of the trial version to produce next version. The...
