Saarbruecken, Graz−February 19, 2015−Under the headline “Digitize Your Business!“ Scheer Group companies are presenting their wide ranging scope of business services for the digital transformation of business models and processes in companies. The big change for companies lies in the dramatic increase in the speed of reaction to changes in markets and individual customer demands over and above the entire value chain for the business. With SAP, ARIS, Scheer BPaaS and the IMC Learning Suite, Scheer Group companies support customers in all stages of their decision making processes from the development of strategy through process design and to implementation. The main focus of its presence at CeBIT 2015 are responsive business solutions for Industry 4.0, e-commerce, e-procurement and compliance.

Today’s digital transformation touches all areas of private and business life at an ever increasing speed. The worldwide accumulation of data is doubling every two years due to the interconnectedness of products, services, customers and suppliers. This is leading to the far reaching transformation of all service oriented business processes. What is needed is high responsivity, quick response times, speed of adaption to changes in market conditions and individual customer demands going beyond the entire business value chain. 

“Digital transformation is a process that companies must actively design and pursue with responsive business models that enhance their position in the digital economy and ensure they remain competitive,” said Professor Dr. August-Wilhelm Scheer, company founder. “The Scheer Group company network, with its 800 employees, accompanies this process from the design of strategy, over implementation to operation with resources from a single source.”

Companies in the Scheer Group are presenting responsive business models and processes for Industry 4.0 at CeBIT, in the areas of predictive analytics, augmented reality and cyber-physical production. 

The increasing share of costs represented by materials over the entire value chain and beyond makes the management and optimization of purchasing processes a factor critical to success in companies. The aim must be close cooperation between consumers, purchasing management and suppliers. 

Scheer E-Procurement offers cloud based services covering the areas of operative procurement from the origination of the need, authorization and ordering to the delivery of the product. In addition to their high adaptability, Scheer E-Procurement solutions are notable for their seamless integration with differing supplier catalogues and systems such as SAP SRM. The digital transformation is creating ever new methods and procedures with which employees, customers and partners must become familiar. The effort required to train staff and the safeguarded control of regular training sessions represent a particular challenge in sectors with rigorous compliance requirements such as the financial, chemicals, pharmaceuticals or healthcare sectors. Companies are increasingly obligated to train their employees in subjects such as IT security, data security, anti-corruption measures and more.

IMC´s compliance and e-learning cloud-based solutions enable adherence to guidelines and gain qualifications for new methods and procedures that are directly available at the workplace, whether mobile, office-based or on the machine floor. Learning measures and progress through them are automatically documented and if necessary, certified.

E-commerce systems such as SAP Hybris are developing into central platforms for the digital transformation of trade and consumer goods industries. Belonging to this is the linking of all sales channels and the use of different devices including mobile ones in the same buying experience. Data exchange in real time and the cost effective use of the available data volumes are becoming factors critical to success. With Scheer E-Commerce, a pre-configured cloud based integration solution is being presented which, using best practice templates, can be quickly and flexibly deployed. The solution is the integration of all systems relevant to e-commerce such as PIM, CRM, ERP, social media, payment and logistics systems.
