Enstep was created using Microsoft's latest set of .NET application framework tools. All program code is written in the C-sharp programming language, organized into a state-less n-tier application: Client application tier, business processing tier, and data access tier, as shown in the adjoining diagram.

The Client is a SmartClient application, and can be deployed using ClickOnce.

Enstep can be configured to access data from either Oracle or SQLServer data sources.

The highly-scalable, business processing tier is made up of many web service applications, which can be hosted on one or many application servers.
