Scheer

IDS Scheer was a software company that developed, marketed, and supported Business Process Management (BPM) software. It has been regarded as the founder of the BPM industry. IDS Scheer had a dominant BPM market-share in Europe and was considered well-positioned in the US market based on its partnerships with Microsoft, SAP, HP, Oracle, IBM and TIBCO as well as consistent financial success and numerous favorable reports from Gartner, Forrester, and AMR Research. However, the company is less well known in the US market, warranting some in the US to call IDS Scheer a “better kept secret.” Its product held the unique distinction of being embedded in the products of SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft. End-user markets for IDS Scheer included consumer packaged goods, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, papers, metals, retail and textile industries.
