Optimizely provisions and maintains two hosting environments:

- Sandbox – Supports customer UAT testing scenarios.
- Production – The live site where commerce is conducted.

The implementation team must host all development and test environments.

Additional development environments are available for purchase if a single sandbox environment is not enough. Contact your Customer Success Manager if interested.

## External WIS

The implementation team, in coordination with the customer, is responsible for hosting and maintaining the [Windows Integration Service (WIS)](docId\:ghj0kI2Rtj4AXwmaPIpFG) used for integrating backend systems such as ERPs. The WIS relies on a direct connection to those systems and uses push/pull requests to transfer data between backend systems and the commerce application.

For more information on integration and how-tos, see [Integrations and Jobs](docId\:Y0lodpO_yXHeMxlxPVxgs).
