IDS Scheer Presented with SAP University Alliance Outstanding Partner Award IDS Scheer North America, the leading provider of business process excellence services and tools, today announced that its CEO, Dr. Mathias Kirchmer, has received the Outstanding Partner Award from the SAP University Alliances Program. The award, which recognizes Dr. Kirchmer's dedicated support of SAP America's research and educational initiatives, was presented at the annual SAP Innovation Congress in Orlando, Florida on February 28.We have been actively involved in the SAP University Alliances Program since its inception in the Americas and have worked in collaboration with SAP to jointly educate the business and academic communities about the importance of bringing innovation to process management, said Dr. Kirchmer. The SAP Innovation Congress events offer a venue for leading educators and globally recognized researchers to exchange ideas and information. Through keynote presentations and expert panel discussions, these biannual events explore educational innovation and new directions in key areas of business and technology research. IDS Scheer has been a true ally in the education of the inherent value of innovative business process management, said Dr. Dan Pantaleo, vice president, SAP University Alliances. Working in concert with IDS Scheer, we have developed strong cooperative relationships with leading universities that share our joint vision for process innovation. Dr. Kirchmer's insight and participation in our SAP University Alliances Program compelled us to recognize him as a key thought leader adding to our vision. According to Dr. Kirchmer, IDS Scheer has participated in a number of SAP University Alliances programs such as distributing its award-winning ARIS solution suite to universities for business process education and research in conjunction with the use of SAP software. IDS Scheer has also supported SAP Innovation Congress events by providing BPM experts and IDS Scheer customers for keynotes. We are solidifying our commitment to innovation and demonstrating our BPM leadership by working jointly with SAP to integrate the ARIS Process Platform into SAP NetWeaver, added Dr. Kirchmer. With the integration of ARIS into SAP NetWeaver, we will elevate the importance of process innovation into a client's business, and not just the technology. Universities can use SAP NetWeaver with the ARIS Process Platform to teach and demonstrate next generation process automation solutions.
