IT major Wipro today tied up with workforce management solutions company, Kronos, to provide workforce solutions for the latter's operations in India.

Sairan Jagannathan, VP, Business Solutions, Wipro, said the alliance will leverage Wipro's leadership in enterprise applications service delivery to project Kronos workforce management solutions to targetted segments of manufacturing, services, healthcare, retail, government and public sectors.

A centre of excellence will be jointly established by Kronos and Wipro to address the challenges of minimising compliance risk, controlling labour costs, and improving workforce productivity.

The centre will focus on co-innovation and create a centre of expertise to help address issues like updating new technologies, enhancing business, offering optimized solutions based on right technologies, frameworks and architecture.

The details in terms of investment and workforce to be deployed are still being worked out, he said.

"We are betting big on India. India is a very exciting emerging market for Kronos. It sits at the center of our internatioanal business", Dick Cahill, VP and GM, International Operations, Kronos, said.

Kronos officials feel India is still currently in the early stage of automation of its work force and mainly at the lower end.The company sees a huge potential for itself in this space as large percentage of the market is still not explored.
