Tech/Engineering - IT (Information Technology) / GIS | | French term or phrase: tier métier | From a description of the 3-tier software architecture of a Geographic Information System:
"Le tier métier comporte l’intelligence métier de l’application et est décomposée sous forme de services métiers regroupant des blocs fonctionnels."
The other two tiers are the "Tier présentation" (Display tier) and the "Tier d’accès aux données" (Data access tier)
It's the métier that bothers me. |

Three-tier architecture, straight out of the Multitier Architecture Wiki – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multitier_architecture#Three-ti... :
Three-tier architecture has the following three tiers:
Presentation tier
This is the topmost level of the application. The presentation tier displays information related to such services as browsing merchandise, purchasing, and shopping cart contents. It communicates with other tiers by outputting results to the browser/client tier and all other tiers in the network.
Application tier (business logic, logic tier, data access tier, or middle tier)
The logic tier is pulled out from the presentation tier and, as its own layer, it controls an application’s functionality by performing detailed processing.
Data tier
This tier consists of database servers. Here information is stored and retrieved. This tier keeps data neutral and independent from application servers or business logic. Giving data its own tier also improves scalability and performance.
Also see this IBM site for IBM Classification Model, which uses data layer, application layer and presentation layer:

In some quarters, "business layer" is used, though it belongs more to RE-speak than to 3-tier speak. |
