even more firmly established, as seen
in the agreement signed with SAP
in 2003: The ARIS Process Platform
and SAP NetWeaver have merged –
making ARIS methods and tools a key
component of the open application
platform.
For the successful transformation of
the research idea into a product, Dr.
Scheer was the first economist to be
awarded the Philip Morris Research
Prize. In October 2003, in “recognition
of his outstanding entrepreneurship,”
he was voted entrepreneur of the
year in the Information Technology
category. The title honors the foun-
ding of “one of the most successful

world. He believes that innovation
should be understood as the com-

of new ideas, and research and deve-

more efficient.
Professor Scheer also represents this
idea on the board of the BITKOM,
Federal Association for Information,
Telecommunications and New Media
onto which he was voted in 2004, as
well as in the Senate of the renowned
Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, of which he
has also been a member since 2004.
Since January 2005, IDS Scheer has
also been listed on the German Entre-
preneurial Index, GEX, an indicator
for the stock performance of owner-
controlled, medium-sized enterprises.
