Stored Quality research reads 76 of 100, an above-average reading in the covered universe. Some underlying measurements are stronger than others.

In the company’s own words
In 1949, our founders established ADP with a simple, innovative idea: help clients focus on their business by solving their payroll challenges. In the 77 years since, we have led the Human Capital Management ("HCM") industry in innovation. We were the first in HCM to deliver automation, move to the cloud, provide a mobile app, and create an online marketplace. Today, we continue that legacy with artificial intelligence ("AI"), building AI into the very core of how we orchestrate, govern and execute HR and pay processes for real-world outcomes.
As AI adds new layers of complexity to managing the workforce infrastructure that makes business possible, our clients need a partner they can trust. As the trusted, service-driven, and AI-enabled partner for HCM, we deliver services powered by deep domain expertise, workforce data, and global scale to help organizations manage their most critical workforce functions with precision, compliance and confidence. Today, we are a global leader in HR and payroll solutions, serving over 1.1 million clients and paying over 42 million workers in over 140 countries and territories. Our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol "ADP."
When we refer to "we," "us," "our," "ADP," or the "Company" in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we mean Automatic Data Processing, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Our mission is to help our clients manage the workforce infrastructure that makes business possible, whether they're a Fortune 500 company or a small local business.
