TO: Shana Yelverton, City Manager
FROM: Stacey Black, Director of Human Resources
SUBJECT: Approve a professional services agreement with Kronos to upgrade the
current Kronos employee timekeeping system including purchasing software,
hardware, and maintenance in an amount not to exceed $86,369
Action
Requested: Approve a professional services agreement with Kronos to upgrade the
current employee timekeeping system including purchasing software,
hardware, and maintenance in an amount not to exceed $86,369.
Background
Information: The City originally implemented Kronos in 2010 and has not upgraded
the software or hardware since the original implementation. The current
software version only supports a version of Microsoft SQL Server that
will no longer be supported by Microsoft after December 31, 2019, thus
requiring the City to make a change.
This upgrade will allow the City to move to a Software as a Service
(SaaS) model in which Kronos will host the timekeeping application in
the cloud rather than the City buying it and installing it onsite. In addition,
the upgrade will include purchasing 18 replacement biometric time
clocks to be deployed across City facilities. The current time clocks are
heavily used by staff and are no longer manufactured or supported by
Kronos. Replacement parts are no longer available and new versions of
the time clocks are not compatible with the software version the City is
currently running.
Upgrading the current system will provide the following benefits:
• Security: The Kronos security program undergoes examinations
from an independent auditor in accordance with the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ (AICPA's) SSAE18 (i.e.,
SOC 1) and the AICPA’s TSP Section 100a, Trust Services
Principles, Criteria, and Illustrations for Security, Availability,
Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy (i.e., SOC 2 and
SOC 3).
• Backup Services: Kronos backs up customer data on a daily
incremental and weekly full backup schedule. Database backups

are replicated via encrypted SSL sessions to an offsite Kronos
managed hosted environment.
• Disaster Recovery Services: The environment and all data are
replicated to a secondary Kronos managed datacenter in the
event of a disaster at the primary hosted facility, reducing the
likelihood of lost data or production downtime.
• Staff Efficiency: Moving to the SaaS hosted model will enable
Southlake IT staff to focus on other valued added IT services.
Application service packs, legislative updates (if applicable),
patches, and technical upgrades will be administered and
deployed by Kronos on a regular basis.
• User Impact: The upgraded system will provide a more user-
friendly look and feel, with easier to use administrative functions
and reporting for employees and managers.
• Hardware: The new timeclocks will be more modern with
touchscreens and bilingual capability.
The State of Texas and the City of Southlake purchasing requirements
have been met by purchasing this upgrade through the U.S.
Communities Omnia Partners cooperative purchasing arrangement
under Contract #18221.
Financial
Considerations: The FY 2019 approved budget included $800,000 for the Intelligent
Transportation System (“ITS”) in the Technology Infrastructure and
Security Fund. The consultants are currently completing the study for
the ITS project; however, the project will not be completed this fiscal
year. Staff recommends reallocating $86,369 of that funding for this
purchase.
Strategic Link: Performance Management and Service Delivery: optimize use of
technology.
Citizen Input/
Board Review: Not applicable.
Legal Review: The City Attorney’s Office has reviewed the agreement.
Alternatives: Deny agreement with Kronos and seek alternative options.

Documents: Kronos Professional Services Engagement Agreement
Staff
Recommendation: Approve item as proposed.
