1. A method of managing components of an application enablement suite (AES), comprising: providing an application developer with access to a workflow designer engine via a developer portal in response to a proper authentication sequence, wherein the workflow designer engine and developer portal are in operative communication with an AES, wherein the authentication sequence is initiated in response to the application developer activating the workflow designer engine via a user device in operative communication with the developer portal; activating a network application manager of the workflow designer engine in response to the application developer selecting a manage network application function via the user device in conjunction with a graphical user interface (GUI) controlled by the developer portal; and creating a new network application using archetypes of the workflow designer engine and repositories of the developer portal in response to the application developer defining at least some parameters for the new network application in conjunction with the GUI, wherein the new network application is associated with a new or existing network service available to subscribers via the AES; wherein the workflow designer engine and developer portal form a layer between the GUI and the AES; wherein the archetypes include a configurable set of basic definitions and design patterns accessible to the application developer via the developer portal for creation of the new network application; wherein the repositories include a configurable set of application features accessible to the application developer via the developer portal for creation of the new network application; wherein the new or existing network service is a composite network service associated with at least one of multiple network services, multiple service providers, multiple service networks, and multiple communication sessions.
