  • Kronos Unveils i5/OS-Based HR Solution for Casinos

    April 10, 2007 Alex Woodie

    Human resources management software developer Kronos last week unveiled a bundle of new software targeted at the gambling industry, called Kronos for Gaming. Kronos’ i5/OS offerings, called the iSeries Central Suite, play a prominent role in the new industry offering.

    According to Kronos, the casino industry is facing a series of challenges in its battle to attract and keep employees and customers. Growth, consolidation, and competition are making it difficult for casinos to differentiate themselves and effectively compete for both employees and customers, the software company says.

    To help casinos adapt to these changes, Kronos rolled out Kronos for Gaming, a collection of integrated applications providing time and attendance, scheduling, absence management, hiring and selection, and biometric data collection functionality.

    Kronos for Gaming is largely based on iSeries Central, and includes several i5/OS-based applications, including iSeries Timekeeper, iSeries Leave, and iSeries Scheduler, in addition to its Workforce Acquisition module and the 4500 Touch ID Terminal, which uses biometric authentication to prevent employees from clocking each other in and out, so-called “buddy punching.”

    Kronos for Gaming is the fourth industry-specific offering from Kronos. In previous months, the company launched vertical solutions for retail, manufacturing, and healthcare.

    With each of these offerings, Kronos gives customers the option of choosing either the iSeries Central Suite or Kronos’ Windows-based Workforce Central Suite, except for Kronos for Gaming, which is entirely based on iSeries Central. This choice reflects the System i server’s incredible popularity in the gaming industry.

    Kronos made the announcement at the Kronos for Gaming Executive Rally held last week at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

    When it comes to consuming web APIs on your IBM i, your options often boil down to one of two things:

    First, you end up having to rely on a variety of open source and non-RPG solutions. This adds developer complexity, taking away time that could have been better spent invested in other projects. Of course, open source software is free, but generally comes at the cost of no professional support, which adds an element of risk in your production environment. RXS is completely professionally supported, and is complemented by a staff of trained IBM i developers who can address your nuanced development challenges, head on.

    Second, if you choose not to pursue an open-source solution, you’re often left having to shake up your current program architecture with proprietary software, external dependencies, and partial RPG implementations – many of which are sub-par compared to RPG-XML Suite’s wide range of features. RXS aims to simplify the efforts of developers with tools like code generators, useful commands, and subprocedures written in 100% RPG – no Java. Because they are entirely RPG, the RXS subprocedures are easy to add to new or existing ILE programs and architecture, helping to cut your development time. RPG-XML Suite offers powerful capabilities in an accessible, easy-to-implement format.

    With RPG-XML Suite, you can accomplish a variety of complex tasks, such as:

    • Calling REST and SOAP web services from your IBM i
    • Offering APIs from your IBM i
    • Creating JSON & XML
    • Parsing JSON & XML
    • Text manipulation, Base64 encoding/decoding, CCSID handling, hashing and encryption functions, and more.

    To try RXS for yourself, we recommend a free proof of concept, which not only gives you access to all of RPG-XML Suite’s subprocedures and utilities but also includes a tailor-made software demonstration that can be used as a starting point for your future API implementations.

    For a free proof of concept, contact us at sales@krengeltech.com, or visit our website for more information.
