Success Stories:Polaris  
“Phenomenal benefits which I wouldn't have believed when someone presented on proposal”
- Arun Jain, CEO, Polaris Software Labs 
 
Extending a Competitive Stance


Polaris wanted a reliable competitive edge to maintain its reputation for quality and customer service. It sought an employee-centric tool to align large numbers of people and knowledge resources real-time, empower intelligent decision making, fuel productivity and ultimately redefine customer service.

What added complexity to the challenge was that Polaris had a wide geographic spread of operations with varying local policies and conventions. Often, disparate project teams worked across time zones on shared tasks. The costs involved in communication and managing these teams was considerable. An effective and cost-saving means of collaboratively managing tasks and projects to streamline and optimize performance both at the individual and group levels was imperative.

This platform would enable Polaris to develop solutions in a better, faster and more co-coordinated manner leading to direct savings in time and cost and to delivery of output that was at consistently high levels of quality.

Adrenalinet was developed to solve these issues for Polaris and thus formed the genesis of Empower Works. On evaluating the immense benefits they were able to achieve in a very short time, Polaris realized the commercial benefits of such a product and spun-off Empower Works as a separate company with its focus being on people management software.

 
The Adrenalinet Advantage

Adrenalinet was an ideal choice for Polaris Software Labs, providing them with a robust, secure enterprise application that was easily customized to Polaris’ specific needs and available to all 22 locations worldwide over the Internet and intranet. It provided users with anywhere, anytime access to a communications and collaboration system coupled with eHR, self-service, employee-alignment and performance management modules.

Adrenalinet provided Polaris with a scalable and flexible application to match the contingent nature of their industry. Reduced user training due to a easy-to-use, easy-to-learn architecture ensured new recruits could be inducted and become productive quickly. It also provided secure access to a number of other legacy applications hosted on various platforms as a common point for all transactions and information on this portal.
