Polaris, a Chennai based mid tier IT services company with around 10,500 employees being a widely spread organization across the globe, with varying local policies and conventions, and disparate project teams working across diverse time zones on shared tasks, the costs involved in managing such a huge global team and communication was immense. In a quest to find the solutions for this challenge, Polaris needed an employee centric HR tool to align large numbers of people and knowledge resources real-time, empower intelligent decision making, boost the per employee productivity. The company built initial version of the software for its own use in early 2000s and eventually spotted a growing market for HR products. Polaris decided to market its HR suite in the name of Adrenalin as a third party product to the organizations. In 2002 Adrenalin eSystems Limited was spun off as a separate entity to market Adrenalin, which the company claims transforms people and working, departments and mind-sets, productivity and profits by seamlessly aligning human resources with business requirement by giving a pathway to a fast and simple world of intelligent working with real-time information sharing.
