- ALVAO WebApp (WA, WebApp) - is a web-based interface through which applicants, operators and solvers can interact with the system. The WebApp is implemented on the MS IIS/ASP.NET platform. Users can use any web client to access the WebApp, e.g. Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, etc. Similarly, users can use any e-mail client to receive information messages. It is also used for system administration.
- ALVAO Service - a server component that provides automatic retrieval of requests and follow-up e-mail communication to the ALVAO Service Desk system.

It also includes a utility for retrieving users from Active Directory.
- Custom Apps WebService - a service used by the ALVAO Service Desk Custom Apps module.
