4. LOB Apps
a. An application that is developed on Enterprise First is called LoB (Line of Business) App. An app
can be hosted on your own account server or common server.
i.Hosted on Common Servers: An app that is hosted on Common server can be subscribed by
many clients and can also be sold at the market place. To host an app on the
common server, it needs to go through a certification process to attest the integrity and
security of the platform. An additional fee might apply.
ii.Hosted on Account Server: These Apps can only be accessed by your account and cannot be subscribed or sold to a third party.
