Dec 29, 2014 at 15:47 comment added user22815 Regardless of how any single person or question might use the term "tier," that word has a specific meaning in the context of these types of applications. I reworded the question to use "stage" instead which more accurately represents the intent of the question while removing ambiguity with the more common definition of "tier" in this context.

Changed "tier" to "stage" which removes ambiguation with the more common use of the word "tier"
Dec 29, 2014 at 15:36 comment added Venture2099 @RobertHarvey - thanks for that. We are indeed using 3 tier; SAP Hana as data storage, Business Warehouse for logic and Business Objects for Presentation. It is clear now that each of these areas have their own independent layers of Dev, Test and Pro making 9 theoretical environments. Once Hana progresses to Prod, the BW Dev can add logic in Dev, Test and then transport to Prod allowing BOBJ to Dev, Test and finally ship to Prod for the customers.
Dec 29, 2014 at 5:46 comment added Robert Harvey Don't get stuck on the word "tier." Yes, tiers are hardware. No, they don't describe the Develop, Test and Production phases of an SDLC. Read the Wikipedia article; multi-tier architecture is a client–server architecture in which presentation, application processing, and data management functions are physically separated. A three-tier architecture is typically composed of a presentation tier, a domain logic tier, and a data storage tier.

Dec 29, 2014 at 2:19 comment added Venture2099 @RobertHarvey you will have to forgive me for not using the correct terminology in regards to the word "tier" although I think the thrust of my question remains. I am not a BI Developer, just merely educating myself incrementally.

Dec 29, 2014 at 1:08 comment added Robert Harvey Those aren't tiers. What does your SDLC look like now? What "stages" do you currently implement? Surely you don't smoke-test your fixes and new features on the production server.
