About Automatic Data Processing Inc
Automatic Data Processing, Inc. (ADP) is a leading business services company focused on cloud-based human capital management (HCM), payroll, HR administration, time management, benefits administration, compliance, analytics, and outsourcing services. The company is listed in the United States on the NASDAQ market under the ticker ADP. Its offering spans the full spectrum of workforce management needs, from simple payroll tools for small businesses to integrated HCM platforms for multinational enterprises.

([investors.adp.com](https://investors.adp.com/overview/?utm_source=openai))
Founded in 1949, ADP began as a payroll processing business and gradually evolved into a broader technology-enabled services group. The company was built around a straightforward but durable thesis: help business owners and employers reduce administrative burden so they can focus on core operations. ADP is headquartered in Roseland, New Jersey, United States. That long operating history has given the group a deep understanding of payroll complexity, tax rules, compliance requirements, and workforce data, all of which are central to its competitive positioning today.

Key products include RUN Powered by ADP for small businesses, ADP Workforce Now for mid-sized and larger organizations, ADP Lyric HCM for more advanced HR, payroll, workforce, talent, and analytics requirements, and ADP Global Payroll for multinational employers operating across multiple jurisdictions.
