[edit] History
Kronos was founded in 1977 by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) alumnus Mark S. Ain[2]. Under Ain's leadership, Kronos sustained one of the longest records of growth and profitability as a public company in the software industry[3]. Ain's brother, Aron Ain[4], succeeded him as chief executive officer in 2005. Mark Ain continues as chairman of the Board of Directors.
Originally a manufacturer of mechanical timeclocks, Kronos has expanded beyond data collection to software and services. The company now provides a complete set of applications for managing the workforce. Kronos also provides consulting, education, and support services to its customers, including software hosting for its applications.
