ROSELAND, N.J., and
BARCELONA, Spain, Nov. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/
-- ADP®, a leading global provider of Human Capital
Management (HCM) solutions, today announced that it will
significantly increase its presence in Barcelona, Spain, with the lease of a new
signature building in Barcelona's
technology and innovation center, the 22@Barcelona technology
park.
The company said this move, over time, will enable it to
increase employee capacity by more than 50 percent, foster stronger
collaboration by consolidating its presence in Barcelona from two buildings into one, and
increase its overall space in the city by 26 percent. ADP
said the expansion also will enable the company to continue its
rapid growth in the European and global HCM operations of which
Barcelona is a part.
Barcelona's city leaders are in
the midst of building out 22@Barcelona into the city's technology
and innovation district. It is part of one of Europe's largest urban regeneration plans
launched more than a decade ago.
"We're delighted to be a part of Barcelona's ongoing efforts to embrace
technology and innovation to benefit business clients around the
world and solidify Barcelona's
role as a key business hub in the region," said Mark Benjamin, President of Global Enterprise
Solutions at ADP. ADP currently provides Human Capital
Management technology and expertise for approximately 610,000
clients in 100 countries. The company has been offering
cloud-based technology services for 16 years.
Benjamin praised the city's contributions to a vibrant
Europe, including serving as a
gateway to major business centers in the region and the fact that
nearly 50 percent of Barcelona's
active population works in knowledge-intensive services.
"Barcelona has offered
companies like ADP strong talent pools, in technical and
non-technical fields alike, from which we can draw employees who
directly contribute to our success as a global company," Benjamin
said. "The city offers a quality of life in which our people
and our company can succeed."
Xavier Trias, Mayor of
Barcelona, praised ADP's
contributions to the city.
"We are extremely pleased that ADP is making this investment,"
said Trias. "We see it as a sign of encouragement in
Barcelona and in our ongoing
efforts to provide a positive environment in which companies like
ADP can succeed."
ADP's signature building in Barcelona has earned LEED Gold certification
from the U.S. Green Building Council. LEED, which stands for
Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design, is awarded to no
more than 35 percent of building projects submitted for
certification. ADP's new building will feature natural
cooling and use 50 percent less water, reduce waste and toxicity,
and occupy a smaller carbon footprint.
ADP said the move to its new signature building was scheduled to
be completed this month.
ADP has long been a global leader in the expanding Human Capital
Management marketplace. In May
2014, the company announced that its ADP
Streamline® global payroll solution had expanded to
cover 100 countries, continuing to meet the needs of a growing
number of multinational companies around the world. Since its
launch in 2006, ADP Streamline has steadily grown across

Pacific, South America and

HCM, offering clients the benefits of a global payroll capability
within the secure ADP platform, and ADP Vantage HCM®,
which enables large enterprises in the
United States to more easily manage and pay employee
populations outside of the United
