Product:
What makes Scheer PAS unique is our "Process iPaaS" approach. We would not be part of the Scheer brand, which has been inextricably linked with the topic of processes in Germany for decades, if we did not combine our technical service portfolio with the topic of business processes.
The focus of our integration platform is on mapping our customers' business processes and making them fit for the digital world. We concentrate on connecting business processes and systems in such a way that measurable results and a holistic view of the entire company are created. The process-oriented integration approach is the most effective way to optimise, automate and continuously improve end-to-end business processes.
"Composition" or "composability" refers to the process of creating a service or process by combining prefabricated building blocks into a single cohesive unit. Complex processes can be digitised more quickly and easily with the help of reusable elements - this saves time and development effort. A "Composable Enterprise" is an organisation that can react quickly to changing business requirements by applying this method.
Scheer PAS is designed so that different types of users can work together on a project, regardless of whether they are software developers or users without IT knowledge.
With Scheer PAS you can create your first application within a few days. Once you have access to your account, you can go through our step-by-step tutorials to create your first application. Various sample applications demonstrate the key features of the platform.
That depends on what you want to do with Scheer PAS. For the first projects, it is advisable to use a mixed team of your own employees and Scheer PAS experts. Right at the start of the project, our customers' employees can create the process model themselves and use it in the Low-code editor create your own forms. The conversion of the model into an executable application and - if necessary - the extension of the UIs with Pro code components would then be handled by Scheer PAS. With this approach, you can realise your first projects within just a few weeks. Your employees learn from our consultants during the project and also benefit from the project-based libraries created by the PAS developers.

Yes, once the customisation with Pro-Code has been completed, the project can be imported back into the Designer for further editing with Low-Code.
The development of Pro-Code applications for the Scheer PAS platform requires knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript and the Angular framework.
If you develop a low-code application in Designer, Designer offers you the option of downloading the generated Angular resources. These resources are the starting point for Pro code development.
DIE: We can recommend Visual Studio Code as a development environment for working with Angular.
Version control: We recommend the use of Git for versioning your project.

Our standard SaaS contract has a term of three years and is billed annually.
In addition to the licence fees, our Professional Service can be used to create initial processes or services. Billing is based on time and effort and is shown in person days depending on the complexity of the process.
