ROSELAND, NJ--(Marketwired - May 21, 2015) - ADP®, a leading global provider of Human Capital Management (HCM) solutions, today announced that it has further transformed the experience users have when interacting with its cloud HCM solutions by significantly enhancing ADP Vantage HCM®, making it even more intuitive, visual, engaging and contextual.

The solution's new design helps transform traditionally cumbersome HR processes to give all users a simple and personalized experience as they manage their teams, work schedules, benefits choices, pay, and careers. It employs contextual user experience methods to deliver meaningful, needed data at the right time and in the right place.

"Too many systems today take the 'human element' out of human resources," said Mark Benjamin, president of ADP's Global Enterprise Solutions business. "Because HCM systems were traditionally designed primarily for compliance and automation, they fostered transaction-driven thinking versus people-driven leadership. HCM systems should not solely be about transactions -- they should be about giving people the tools they need to be more successful at work while driving employee productivity and engagement. They should be user-friendly and more intuitive. That's why ADP is committed to raising the bar for user experience."

ADP Vantage HCM was launched in 2012 and has signed more than 230 clients who benefit from HR, talent, benefits, payroll, and time and labor management services delivered on an integrated cloud platform. Adoption of this cloud platform continues to accelerate. In fact, the number of clients using the solution has doubled each of the past two years.

"ADP has delivered on its commitment to stay keenly focused on the 'human' aspects of the human capital management user experience," said Lisa Rowan, research vice president of HR and Talent Management Services at IDC. "By enhancing and enriching both the HR manager and employee experiences, ADP illustrates that it understands the holistic nature of how the people of any organization work together to build unified cultures and communities that contribute to a company's success."

Today's announcement illustrates ADP's commitment to and investment in enriching the user experience for all of its clients and reinforces ADP's focus on helping its clients build better workforces. The new ADP Vantage HCM experience complements upgrades to ADP's small business and midsized business solutions announced earlier this week.

Across all ADP platforms, more than 22 million users already have access to the new ADP user experience, which includes a fresh, new look for employees, managers and HR practitioners. Many ADP Vantage HCM modules have already been updated with the new user experience and more will roll out during the coming months. They include:
