With all browsers dropping Flash support in late 2020, just about every Kronos Workforce Central (WFC) customer is either planning for, or is in the thick of, a system upgrade right now. So, here's a helpful list of the Most Frequently Asked Questions that address the platform's latest upgrades.

Numbers don't lie, which makes business projections and outcomes around data integration efforts far more exciting. A recent Forrester study confirms a 307% ROI and a $3.4 million gain in incremental revenue and gross profit for companies specifically using the Dell Boomi integration platform. 

No doubt, the seriousness of our environmental crisis demands a response but at the same time, the urgency can be overwhelming. Can one person or one business make even a small dent in huge issues like climate change, natural resource depletion, pollution, and so many other pressing issues? 

In the process of designing Dimensions, Kronos' next-gen workforce management solution, engineers quickly realized conventional architectures couldn't house the platform's powerful new features. Their solution: They built the powerful, cloud-based D5 platform to power Dimensions.

One of the most powerful features of D5 is in its Integration Hub (IHub) that utilizes prebuilt Dell Boomi connectors for people, payroll, accruals, and more. Together — D5 and Dell Boomi — allow Dimensions customers to work in the modern cloud and port disconnected data sources from existing systems into one central location. Thus, bringing unprecedented data alignment and efficiency to a workflow.

Regardless of size or industry, businesses everywhere are in a similar digital dilemma. Each has accumulated dozens, even hundreds, of business applications that don't necessarily talk to each other. The result is gaps — lots of gaps — in data sharing and decision-making that, if ignored, could cost a company serious market share. 

If you lifted the hood on just about any company’s IT environment, you’d find an engine that houses legacy systems, databases, and an abundance applications that live both on-premise and in the cloud. While the technology engine is powerful, much of it can’t talk to each other. This integration deficit means a lot of organizations today have enough horsepower to cruise but not enough to compete long-term.
