ROSELAND, N.J., Sept. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- ADP ®, a leading
provider of human resources outsourcing, payroll services, benefits
administration and integrated computing solutions for vehicle
dealers, today announced that it has been ranked seventh on the
InformationWeek 500 list for 2011 – an annual list of the
top business technology innovators in the
United States.
The award marks the second time in the past five years that ADP
has been ranked as a top ten business technology innovator in the
U.S. In addition, ADP received the highest ranking among all human
capital management companies and business outsourcing solution
providers. The rankings were revealed at a recent awards
ceremony at the InformationWeek 500 Conference in
Dana Point, California.
"As one of the original cloud computing providers, technology
and innovation are woven into our culture at ADP," said
Michael Capone, Chief Information
Officer, ADP. "Our relentless approach to delivering
technology that matters helps our clients address the potential
burdens of business processes, compliance and costly administrative
tasks by ensuring secure, reliable and efficient solutions. We are
honored to be a leading member of the InformationWeek 500,
an accomplishment that reflects the world-class services we provide
our clients and the dedication of our talented team of global IT
associates."
In October 2010, ADP launched its
first free mobile application, RUN Powered by ADP® mobile payroll,
which enables small business owners to manage and process payroll
for their employees and contractors through their mobile device.
In July of this year, ADP introduced the ADP Mobile Solutions
app, a free mobile application for ADP clients designed to help
drive enhanced productivity and client employee engagement by
enabling employees to access vital payroll, benefits and other HR
information in two clicks or less on their mobile devices.
"For 23 years, the InformationWeek 500 has chronicled and
honored the most innovative users of business technology," said
InformationWeek Editor In Chief Rob
Preston. "In this day and age, however, being innovative
isn't enough. Companies and their IT organizations need to innovate
faster than ever before to stay a step or two ahead of their
customers, partners, and competitors. This year's ranking placed
special emphasis on those high-octane business technology
innovators."
InformationWeek identifies and honors the nation's most
innovative users of information technology with its annual 500
listing, and also tracks the technology, strategies, investments
and administrative practices of America's best-known companies.
Top winners have included: The Vanguard Group, CME
Group, Conway, National Semiconductor, Kimberly-Clark, Hilton
Hotels and Unum. The InformationWeek 500 rankings are
unique among corporate rankings as it spotlights the power of
innovation in information technology, rather than simply
identifying the biggest IT spenders.
