You might like to look at the following couple of documents for some inspirations:
IG1222 ODA Technical Architecture Suite v20.5
Part 3 Section 8 has a discussion of PACE architecture which recognises different tiers of ODA Application and components than have different pace of change.
Part4 Section 5 ODA Service and Integration Pattern: ODA Process Patterns - has a tiered approach to supporting processes
Part 4 Section 6 ODA Pattern: Intermediate Systems to support reusable processes again a tiered approach
IG1221 BSS/OSS Cloudification Guide Suite v20.5
We also looked at transforming OSS/ BSS to cloud and one of the considerations was what types of current tiered systems need to be considered for transformation
specification part 2 Sections 3.4 and 5 have some check lists for tiered systems which might provide some inspiration.
