Kronos WFC 6.2 Support for Microsoft Platforms

  • Article

It was great to meet customers at Kronosworks last week in Las Vegas. Microsoft had two packed sessions – one in the Retail and the other in the Healthcare track. At our booth we met lots of customers who were excited about the 6.2 release and support for Microsoft Hyper-v, SQL Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2. We are seeing a lot of interest in existing workforce central customers who are on other platforms (iSeries, Oracle) and want to streamline their support costs as they upgrade to WFC 6.1 and 6.2.   If you are interested in the migration procedure please drop a comment to this blog and I will outline some considerations during an upgrade/migration.

I have listed below which Microsoft technologies are supported at each Kronos WFC Tier with the release of 6.2.
