Infographic of N-Tiered Application

 I was recently meeting with a client who needed to replace their multi-worksheet-excel workbook (that they're using as a database) with a real world database. 

Of course they wanted to not just replace the main worksheet (with complicated formulas and fancy charts) with a web-based application, but they then asked about apps for phones and tables. 

In order to explain to them how I would replace this Excel workbook with a real system, I went to google and tried to find a decent looking infographic of  a 3-tiered or n-tiered application design. 

Unfortunately, there were no real good ones. They looked like they were done by computer programmers, not graphical designers! 

Therefore ... I sourced a designer to create one! 

It's not too fancy, but I think it does a good job of explaining the basics of linking together a cloud-based database, with an API and then as many different presentation layers as possible. 

What do you think?
