10. 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 composite network application manager of the workflow designer engine in response to the application developer selecting a manage composite network application function via the user device in conjunction with a graphical user interface (GUI) controlled by the developer portal; creating a new composite 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 composite network application in conjunction with the GUI, wherein the new composite network application is associated with a new or existing composite network service available to subscribers via the AES and associated with at least one of multiple network services, multiple service providers, multiple service networks, and multiple communication sessions; activating an application program interface (API) manager of the workflow designer engine in response to the application developer selecting a manage API function via the user device in conjunction with the GUI; and creating a new API 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 API in conjunction with the GUI, wherein the new API is associated with the new composite network application; 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.
12. The method set forth in claim 10 , further comprising: activating an application enabler manager of the workflow designer engine in response to the application developer selecting a manage application enabler function via the user device in conjunction with the GUI; and creating a new application enabler 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 application enabler in conjunction with the GUI, wherein the new application enabler is associated with the new composite network application.
