BMC Helix Innovation Suite architecture
AR System architecture
Action Request System is a professional development environment that leverages the recommendations of the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL). Using AR System, nonprogrammers can build powerful business workflow applications
Companies use AR System applications to track diverse items, such as stock trades, benefits data, inventory assets, spare parts, and order fulfillment.
One of the most common uses of AR System is to automate internal service desks.
For more information about AR System architecture, see AR-System-architecture.

BMC Helix Innovation Suite architecture
BMC Helix Innovation Suite consolidates all Service Management products on a single application environment that combines capabilities of BMC Helix Innovation Studio and Action Request System. This consolidation allows you to simplify your deployment architecture significantly and reduce operational costs considerably.
BMC Helix Innovation Suiteprovides:
- A shared database between BMC Helix Innovation Studio and AR System.
- A common Foundation data for applications that run on the BMC Helix Innovation Suite.
- The ability to interoperate between development tools.
For example, you can call a process defined by using BMC Helix Innovation Studio in AR System. The process is called by triggering a filter written in Developer Studio.
