Barin-

 

Great Blog!  A couple of points I might recommend:

  1. Can you retitle "Kronos Workforce Central" instead of "Workforce Software" since "Workforce Software is a separate company?

  2. You might also make clear that Workforce Central is the on-premise version of Kronos.  Workforce Dimensions would behave differently.

SCP. take a look at MDI as well. With Kronos moving out of SAP solution group future could be interesting for Kronos.
