CS Holdings has announced the support by Kronos for the largest of databases, as well as the small to medium enterprise (SME) end of the market with its latest release of its application suite, Workforce TimekeeperTM. Version 3.2, now available, supports a 100 000-employee database on Oracle (NT and Unix) or a 30 000-employee database on MS SQL Server or Informix.
Kronos`s single-server solution for the SME market uses database scripts, reducing the need for a full-time or on-site database administrator and making it more accessible for small companies. This two-pronged approach is expected to continue Kronos`s market leadership: it holds more than 50% market share.
JSE-listed CS Holdings own the rights in sub-Saharan Africa to Kronos, the world`s leading time-attendance software system.
"Kronos now has a good-fit solution for companies of all sizes," says CS Holdings director Andre Matthysen. "By scaling its functionality, Kronos is making it possible for organisations of all sizes to realise the benefits of labour management technology."
Because of its extensive test requirements, Kronos established an inhouse group of engineers devoted to performance and scalability testing.
"Kronos`s testing was rigorous," adds Matthysen. "Many small competitors have dropped out because they cannot keep up with customer demands, especially in assuring quality performance. Small players can`t compete because they can`t devote the resources to testing and modelling."
Kronos`s Workforce Central suite includes frontline labour management applications for time and attendance, leave management, employee scheduling, labour analytics and labour activities. The suite has a variety of employee and supervisor interaction methods that can be deployed concurrently in an organisation, giving companies the ability to choose preferred methods to meet the different needs of their employees` work environments.
Kronos is universally recognised as the pioneer of labour management systems, with over 50% market share and 30 000 customers worldwide, include more than 200 in South Africa.
