Great place to work way back - Avis employé Employé (anonyme) IDS Scheer

Focused only on SAP ERP, the knowledge and skills are high.

Low budget from Software AG to expand and to be competitive with our services rates. IDS is not a focus for Software AG, they bought IDS for the ARIS BPM technology and took it over to their solution portfolios. Clearly a secondary citizen, no marketing, website presence or executive level push to grow the IDS side for services. Software AG is a product company 1st and service 2nd at best.

- great processes (at least most of them) - from development through the QA to management - great senior and junior management staff - benefits - vacation package

- the maintanance phase in classic waterfall development scheme is pretty boring - no automatic tests - developers are forced by QA to do manual software testing (tedious) - no place for innovations, learning new stuff - "one company framework rules them all"
