It includes several components: a server that handles requests and responses and scales performance; ManuScript for customized business rules; an author tool for product definition; a product studio for business users; and forms, billing, transactions, parties, and Express for the user interface. It also includes a test automation center, databases, and supports both on-premise and cloud-based deployments.
