While technically correct English, the above strikes me as awkward and somewhat
inscrutable[1]. Perhaps this works better:

    The GNUe Application Server provides user-defined business objects
    with arbitrary fields and methods to a variety of GNUe frontends,
    such as GNUe Forms and GNUe Reports. It transforms access to the
    objects into invoking the appropriate database calls and scripts,
    while ensuring security and consistency with speed and stability.

Or perhaps it doesn't. Entirely up to you.

[1] Yes, I see that your original is pretty much what's on the upstream
site. It's awkward and inscrutable there, too.

    The irony is that Bill Gates claims to be making a stable operating
    system and Linus Torvalds claims to be trying to take over the
    world.       -- seen on the net
