LAS VEGAS, (November 09, 2009) –
From the floor of its 12th annual KronosWorks(TM) customer conference, Kronos® Incorporated 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 three unique capabilities: instant engagement, guided decisions, and complete control.
News Facts
* 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.
* Complete control – Only Kronos gives organizations complete control over how they acquire, deploy, and manage their workforce management solution. With Kronos, customers can buy, rent or rent-to-own the application; deploy the solution in their data center, with a third-party service provider, or with Kronos; and manage their Kronos solution with their own internal staff or with a dedicated team of Kronos professionals. Unlike other vendors, Kronos encourages customers to mix-and-match any of these options in any way they choose.
* Kronos’ next generation user interface will be released in January to early adopters and will be generally available in March.

* 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.”
* Josh Bersin, chief executive officer and president, Bersin & Associates
“When I saw Kronos’ new user interface, my jaw dropped. They have built a truly ‘user-centric’ experience which enables the application to change modalities as a user’s needs change. This is technology that is going to truly re-define the way companies manage their workforce.”
