This collaboration will enable ADP, a leading provider of human
resources, payroll and benefits administration services, to expand
its tax filing offerings to new markets serving employers of all
sizes. By implementing IBM Cast Iron integration software,
ADP will help clients increase efficiencies through simplified tax
filing processes.
"Our clients' use of IBM Cast Iron integration software will
help to ensure those clients can take advantage of ADP Tax
Services' payroll tax filing system, while also expanding the
integration of our on-demand Tax Services with more on-premise
payroll software and ERP payroll systems," said Lori Schreiber, General Manager, Division Vice
President, Tax Services, ADP Tax and Financial Services. "Moving
forward, we will continue to use our tax filing and compliance
expertise to expand our suite of product and service offerings
across our beyond-payroll business lines."
"Companies' desire for greater agility in responding to tax
regulatory changes and uncertain market conditions is driving the
need to extend existing business processes with cloud
capabilities," said Marie Wieck,
general manager, IBM Application Integration Middleware. "In that
context, IBM is helping ADP cost-effectively accelerate the growth
of its existing business, while expanding its reach to new
markets."
Together, IBM and ADP will offer customers greater simplicity
and cost efficiency through combined online payroll processing and
tax filing capabilities. For example, ready-to-use
connectors automatically unite different payroll applications with
ADP Tax Services. Drag-and-drop mapping between company
payroll applications and ADP Tax Services enable the translation of
alphanumeric and numeric data in different applications.
Advanced business logic can detect corrupted data in a
payroll system and notify the system administrator for correction
before the data is transferred to ADP. Further, one console
provides the ability to see and manage all cloud and on-premise
data and processes being integrated.
This combination will further expand ADP Tax Services' current
offering, which includes:
- Filing of federal, state and local payroll tax returns
- Depositing of federal, state and local payroll taxes
- Annual filing of federal, state and local W-2s and
reconciliation forms
- Preparation and filing of amended returns and supporting
documents
- Resolution of tax agency inquiries
- Online access to deposit and filing statements
- Single data source to process employee W-2s, allowing for
balanced transactions with payroll tax returns and deposits.
