IDS Scheer may be up for sale -magazine (Reuters)
IDS Scheers's US headquarters are in Berwyn.
I have to wonder why IDS Scheer's business model doesn't produce more profitability, since it has unique propriety tools which
most other vendors need to use for Business Process Modeling (BPM).
If this does come to pass, SAP would be the most likely partner, given their close historical relationship with Scheer and the tight integration with their products. However, Microsoft, Oracle and others can't be ruled out.
