The Massachusetts-based company plans to open the office in downtown's PNC Center in January, taking 31,000 square feet on the eighth floor. Kronos said the investment will go toward equipping space for what essentially will be a customer service center.

The city of Indianapolis will consider additional property tax abatements as well as a training grant and parking assistance.
“Kronos is excited to be expanding into the vibrant city of Indianapolis and looks forward to contributing to the business landscape and providing high-quality jobs for the talented graduates of top-notch local universities,” Chris Todd, senior vice president of services for Kronos, said in a prepared statement.
