Read what our members have to say about ADP

There is no other way to put it: ADP has been nothing short of a miracle-working game-changer for our business.
EVERYTHING is different because of our involvement with this organization, the people that comprise it, the partnerships we’ve formed, the mentoring we’ve received, the ideas that have been shared – EVERYTHING.
We talk differently; we train differently; we sell differently; we track differently; and we offer differently; in short, we operate completely differently, have a far-superior digital product – and a much stronger print story to tell – all because of ADP.

Their conferences serve as a perfect blend of education and networking, offering invaluable opportunities. Connecting with industry peers outside my business sphere has broadened my perspective on tackling day-to-day challenges. The power of shared experiences is inspiring and assures me that I’m not alone in this journey.

We are proud new members of ADP and are thrilled about the cutting-edge advancements that ADP provides. We take pride in having successfully shifted from a legacy Directory Publisher to a comprehensive media company. I am immensely grateful to ADP for guiding us through this transition into the Digital Publishing Age. The SmartSolutions suite of products is a complete game changer. Joining ADP has undoubtedly been the wisest choice we’ve made in quite some time.
