Las Vegas, NV, November 20, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Infor today announced the release of Infor HCM Workforce Management’s Planning, Time & Attendance, Performance, and Absence solutions combined with table game scheduling capabilities from Strategic Labor. Sold through Infinium Software, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Infor, this release will offer the first comprehensive Workforce Management solution built specifically for the casino and gaming industry. The solution enables casinos to efficiently manage labor throughout their operations, including restaurants and hotel rooms, and now the casino floor.

Through this partnership with Strategic Labor, one of the only software providers with table game scheduling capabilities, casino operators can now gain greater operational visibility and control of their gaming staff, managing all the way down to the individual game table.

Infor HCM Workforce Management, integrated with Strategic Labor’s Strategic Workforce Scheduler, provides casinos the ability to automate complex workforce scheduling across the various gaming tables and match employee skill proficiency to each station. The solution delivers enhanced tracking of labor and productivity, reduces the time required to manage schedules and allows managers to focus on business operations instead of administrative tasks.

“Workforce Management solutions from Infor and its Infinium subsidiary are relied upon by many of the world’s leading gaming and resort properties,” said Debbie Hawkins, vice president, Hospitality Solutions Group, Infor. “Our partnership with Strategic Labor extends our world class functionality for the casino and gaming industry, providing a complete, end-to-end workforce management solution.”

The added functionality to Infor HCM Workforce Management includes a rules-based auto-scheduler, specific to a casino’s operations, which automatically configures schedules based on business requirements, employee skill, availability, and budgets. Through its demand-based scheduling, casinos can review historical data and determine the best employee schedules to meet business objectives. Additionally, the system provides Web-based access for all casino employees to manage their schedule.
