Rent Centric designed and
developed Auto Rent Tracker, to be a scalable/flexible
3-tier software based on standard Microsoft protocols such
as COM and .NET
Framework, which is organized into three major parts
for easy and concise development. A 3-tier application
uses the client/server computing model. Each part has been
constructed concurrently for different functional
purposes. This model is recognized as being ideal for
enterprise deployment, due to the programming flexibility
that it affords. From a programmers perspective existing
applications or critical code can be permanently or
temporarily retained and encapsulated within exisiting
components or .NET
framework as new ones are being created allowing the
application to evolve for meeting new business opportunity
needs.

requests. Therefore determines the logic
functions. |

Layer
III - Database |

Microsoft renowned SQL Server 2000 Engine which is
based on core SQL Server technology. SQL Server
2000 has demonstrated its reliability in providing
