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.

History

IDS Scheer was founded in 1984 to market the Y-Model reference framework developed by Dr. Scheer in the 1980s. The Y-Model helped users identify and classify processes and was originally the foundation of IDS Scheer's products.[5]Script error: No such module "Unsubst". A "Y" symbol is still in the company's logo today as a representation of the Y-Model.

The company went IPO on the Frankfurt exchange in 1999. By the end of its first year as a public company, IDS Scheer had 87.1 million euro in annual revenue and had developed and sold the ARIS architecture it's known for today.[12]Script error: No such module "Unsubst". The company grew rapidly from 87.1 to 220 million euro in revenue from 1999 to 2003 and up to nearly 400 million euro by 2008.[12]Script error: No such module "Unsubst".[13]Script error: No such module "Unsubst".[14]Script error: No such module "Unsubst". IDS Scheer acquired German-Swiss consulting firm Balink in 2004 and Russian consultancy Business Logic in January 2005.

The company continues to fuel an aggressive expansion today, including the opening of offices in Australia, Croatia, and Shanghai from 2004–2007. By 2007, the company had almost 3,000 employees, over half of which were devoted solely to consulting.

Software AG agreed to buy IDS Scheer for €487 million in July 2009.[15] The takeover was cleared by competition authorities in October 2009.[16]
