History and Overview of ADP
- ADP has been in business for 75 years, with over 1 million clients globally and 40 million workers paid across the world.
- ADP offers a full Human Capital Management (HCM) solution, from hiring to retiring.
- ADP has a legacy of innovation, including pioneering payroll outsourcing and global payroll solutions.
- ADP recently acquired Workforce Software, a workforce management solution.
ADP's Global Payroll Solutions
- ADP has been offering global payroll solutions for over 20 years, with 2,800+ clients across 142 countries.
- The global payroll solution includes deep HCM integration, local compliance, and security.
- ADP's global payroll offering has evolved from Global View (launched in 2001) to Celergo (acquired in 2018) and the latest Celergo 2.0.
Moving Global View to the Cloud with SAP Rise on AWS
- The global payroll solution consists of Global View (for large clients) and Celergo (for smaller clients).
- ADP is moving Global View, which is currently on-premises, to the cloud with SAP Rise on AWS.
- Drivers for the cloud migration include:
- Preparing for the future
- Enabling innovation
- Improving client experience (resilience, scalability, and user experience)
- Supporting business growth
Why SAP Rise and AWS?
- ADP has a long history of collaboration with SAP, and Rise is where SAP is investing and evolving its products.
- Rise allows ADP to focus more on product innovation and less on maintenance tasks.
- ADP chose AWS as the hyperscaler for Rise due to:
- AWS's readiness for the future
- Innovation capabilities
- Scalability and resilience
- Synergy with other ADP products already on AWS
- AWS's experience with SAP
The Migration Process
- The migration from on-premises Global View to SAP Rise on AWS is a significant undertaking, involving upgrading from ECC6 to S/4HANA.
- The migration will happen in three steps:
- Pilot Migration: Understanding the data throughput and post-migration configurations.
- Pilot Migration: Moving a few clients to validate the process.
- Mass Migration: Migrating the full environment to S/4HANA on Rise.
Future Vision for Global Payroll
- The entire global payroll solution (Global View and Celergo) will be on the cloud (AWS) for enhanced scalability, resilience, security, automation, and AI-driven capabilities.
- ADP aims to be ready for the future, continue to focus on client innovation, and have security and compliance by design.
Other ADP Modernization Efforts on AWS
- ADP has been collaborating with AWS since 2015, focusing on innovation, global scale, and leveraging AI/ML capabilities.
- Examples of ADP applications modernized on AWS:
- My ADP Portal: Improved performance and resilience using serverless and event-driven architectures.
- W-2 Processing: Increased speed by 14x using serverless technologies.
- Voice of Employee (VOE): Achieved multi-region active-active architecture for better resilience.
- ADP is also working with AWS on accelerating AI/ML use cases through the ADP Assist project, leveraging ADP's data and domain expertise.
