SAP today announced a strategic partnership with consulting and software company Scheer GmbH to accelerate process transformation in the DACH and Central European region leveraging the advanced business process intelligence (BPI) solutions from SAP and Scheer’s expertise and solutions around digital transformation.

This new partnership will help customers to use a wide range of transformation content as Scheer and BPI will combine Scheer’s deep industry content and process expertise with BPI’s new content layer. Scheer’s performanceREADY solution for the digitalization of business models and business processes will complement BPI’s new content to help customers accelerating their process transformations.

In addition to leveraging its strong presence in Central Europe, specifically Germany, Austria and Switzerland, Scheer will also extend the combined offer into its Northern European and US client engagements. Priority sectors include complex, process-heavy industries including automotive, chemicals, manufacturing and pharmaceuticals.
