Kronos and Microsoft Partner on Streamlining Reports and Requests
Kronos (News - Alert) Incorporated, a workforce management solutions provider, will collaborate with Microsoft, via the Workforce Dimensions Technology Partner Program, on new solutions for easing workforce management, according to a recent release.
The companies reportedly will create a chatbot and embed it within Microsoft (News - Alert) employee teams to allow them to better address key workforce management issues. The new bot will also act as an enabler of integrations between Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Power BI, and Workforce Dimensions, to help multi-locational, more intelligent decision-making.
This will result in saving time for employees by streamlining review, submission, and approval for worker timecards and requests for time off within Outlook itself.
“As we build the workplace of the future, employees and managers must be empowered to work their way, completing everyday workforce activities from any device, at any time, and through digital social hubs – such as Microsoft Teams – where users already collaborate and communicate all day long,” said Michael May, Senior Director, Workforce Dimensions Technology Partner Program, Kronos.
The long-term goals for the partnership are designed to result in continued work between the companies on more optimization tools that will leverage the Workforce Dimensions and Kronos D5 platform.
“The integration between Workforce Dimensions and Microsoft Teams is a new experience that brings together people, conversations, and content so customers can better collaborate to achieve more every day,” said Mike Ammerlaan, Director, Microsoft Office 365 Ecosystem, Microsoft Corp. “We’re pleased to work with Kronos to help improve the flow of communication in the modern workplace.”
