For sharepoint integration, we only need the set of web services available in Appian's SharePoint Web services component. According to the documentation, we have to install it to a SharePoint server. Is it possible to install it to a IIS web server instead? It is because my client's corporate policy does not allow us to install this component in their SharePoint server.

The Appian for Sharepoint Module, which includes the web services, is an integration itself with the Sharepoint server and it has to be deployed as any WSP in the Sharepoint server/farm. The module cannot exist in IIS itself, it will be "accessible" through the IIS Sharepoint URL but in reality the WSP leaves in the Sharepoint server.

If you don't want to use the Appian for Sharepoint web services you can use native Sharepoint Web Services without the need for installing anything with the only limitation that not all of them will be compatible with the out of the box Call Web Service activity (in which case it's as easy as using the Send HTTP Request plug-in) which can add a little bit of more complexity to the design.
