    The AppScan® Enterprise Server is a separately-installable component. The server provides centralized user management capabilities and a mechanism for sharing assessments via the AppScan Source Database. In addition, if your administrator has installed the Enterprise Console component of the AppScan Enterprise Server, you can publish assessments to it. The Enterprise Console offers a variety of tools for working with your assessments - such as reporting features, issue management, trend analysis, and dashboards. Most AppScan Source products and components must communicate with an AppScan Enterprise Server. Without one, you can use AppScan Source for Analysis in standalone mode and AppScan Source for Development in local mode.
