Kronos announces next generation of workforce management; expands India operations

Bangalore, Dec 9 (ANI/Business Wire India): Kronos Incorporated, the leader in workforce management solutions, today announced a next generation user interface as part of a vision for the future of workforce management.

Based on the idea that users should not have to choose between deep functionality and ease of use, Kronos' vision is centered around two unique capabilities: instant engagement and guided decisions.

According to Aron Ain, Chief Executive Officer, Kronos, "In the next generation of workforce management, organizations no longer have to sacrifice ease of use for deep functionality. Kronos is committed to providing both. While other workforce management vendors are providing customers with a static map of their labor landscape, Kronos is more like a GPS navigation system, providing guidance on how to avoid potential problems; enabling users to adjust as circumstances change; and guiding users to the best possible destination."

James Thomas, Country Manager, Kronos India, commented, "Kronos' next generation of workforce management will revolutionize the way companies manage their workforce by delivering a user-centric experience which is intuitive and guided towards pro active, smart HR decisions for enhanced workforce effectiveness and productivity."

Instant engagement - When it comes to personal technology, today's consumer has come to expect software and devices that are intuitive. Until now, no one has applied those same design principles to business software. The next generation user interface from Kronos is designed around how people work. It is simple, intuitive, and highly functional. It instantly engages managers and employees by providing them with the tools they need, in one dashboard, to effectively do their jobs.

Guided decisions - The decisions an organization's frontline managers make every day often dictate the success or failure of the organization. By leveraging Kronos' rich set of work rules, the next generation user interface quickly and accurately identifies workforce-related issues and guides the user to an appropriate resolution. The net result is that frontline managers make better decisions faster.

Commenting further, Ain said, "The Indian market represents a tremendous opportunity for workforce management solutions. As the worldwide market leader, we are best poised to service this requirement. We have experienced stupendous traction in terms of our sales operations in India. As a result, Kronos India is expanding its ecosystem in India in the coming year.

To accommodate its planned growth, Kronos has moved its India operation to a new location in Bagmane Tech Park, a sprawling technology campus in the heart of Bangalore.

Apart from the key strategic technology partnerships with Microsoft, IBM and with leading system integrators, Kronos is exploring partnerships for strategic tie ups in the human capital management space as well as software distribution and service delivery channels for covering the length and breadth of India.
