ARS development can be considered as a fourth-generation programming language where the developer literally draws the application forms, set its properties and creates the workflow rules. The user interface and behavior are completely data driven, where all development items (workflow rules, forms, etc.) are coded and stored in tables. The system automatically creates the required database elements (like tables or indexes) and forces the execution of the defined workflow rules.

BMC Software is also the main developer of ARS applications. Following is a list of the best known applications built within the Action Request System framework.
