Application architecture has many combinations and can be tailored to just about any business. Each pattern serves a purpose for the user of the system. The user or company that needs the software must define objectives prior to designing the system. Once the objectives are set then the process design can start. In order to design the process, the equipment needs, implementation requirements, and work-flow are set and described in detail. The designing itself, is accomplished by using flow-charts, scale models, and even some process simulation software.

Riordan will benefit more from client-server architecture since this nonfunctional requirement has more benefits than a server-based or client server. There are four major benefits in a client-server; scalability, adaptable support, reliable networking and separation of logic. Scalability adjusts storage and processing within the server. Adaptation support is the ability to support different clients and servers. The server can also separate logic’s without changing any other data. The final feature allows the server to maintain the network in case of any errors or application crashes (Dennis, Wixom, & Roth, 2012).
