ROSELAND, NJ -- (Marketwire) -- 08/25/09 -- ADP ®, a leading provider of HR, payroll and benefits administration services, today announced that it has doubled its number of large organizations (1,000 or more employees) leveraging ADP benefits administration solutions in the past two years. This growth has been fueled by ADP's recently released Health and Welfare Service Engine, a new technology that simplifies the benefits enrollment process and integrates seamlessly with existing ADP HR solutions, providing real-time data flow and consolidated reporting tools to help make clients more efficient in their HR processes.

"This integrated solution, and ADP's overall service-based approach, will enable employers to leverage internal resources more strategically as opposed to focusing on tactical and technical issues."

The need for comprehensive solutions is driving client demand for seamless benefits administration and HR data integration, and a growing number of ADP health and welfare service clients have signed on to embrace this latest capability. The ADP solution is fully scalable to an organization's size and scope of outsourcing needs, and eases the burden of benefits administration by offering clients one convenient platform that provides 24/7 access to critical data for better decision making.

"ADP's solution helps Trustmark's employees to have an easier, faster and user-friendly open enrollment process. This provides our team with more time to focus on helping employees make strategic and smart decisions on their benefits and less time answering technical questions," said Melody Canak, Director of Benefits, Trustmark Companies, an ADP client with more than 2,000 employees. "And ADP not only delivers accurate, worry-free data to our carriers, they also provide real-time reporting for our HR staff, making it easy to pull data out of the system for decision making and reporting."
