Active Projects:

CLIENT ENGAGEMENT HUB (CEH)

Deployed a completely new dynamic associate desktop for more than 6K users: ADP’s client engagement hub (CEH) is an architectural framework that ties multiple systems together to optimally engage and service our clients. Our CEH allows personalized, contextual customer engagement, whether through a human, artificial agent, or predictive data across all business units. It reaches and connects all departments including Small Business Services, Added Value Services, Tax Centers of Excellence, Sales, and others allowing, for example, the synchronization of marketing, sales and customer service processes. On target to delivery $9M in cost savings enabled by sharing “one pane of glass”.

​DIGITAL SERVICE TECHNOLOGY TRANSFORMATION

Working in concert with our Client and Associate Engagement Technology (CAET) team, we are actively deploying a common omni-channel platform across 7 unique business units. The industry leading platform will enable greater agility in delivery, shared experience across business units, and client journey data to enable ADP to refine the client experience across multiple products. This will drive exceptional omni-channel experiences, journeys, and relationships. Within the first year, we have shifted 20% of all customer contacts to lower cost channels with about 3% of all contacts handled by our virtual assistant, Rosie (powered by IBM Watson).  Over 250K transactions have been served through chat and chatbot in the last 10 mos. Our clients have indicated a strong preference for these channels with about 35% choosing chatbot or chat as their preferred communication method.  We expect to grow to 40% of all transactions in these channels in 2019.​

IMPLEMENTATION AUTOMATION LEVERAGING AI

A completely automated E2E solution leveraging RPA, OCR, and NLP (Blue Prism, Captiva, and IBM Watson) to complete implementation of new clients and/or existing clients adding new products within minutes instead of days. Eliminating complexity through process re-engineering and automation of remaining process steps. On schedule to eliminate more than $3M in cost driven by manual processing.  Over 500K transactions processed through Automation in the first year.

ASYNCHRONOUS MESSAGING AND SECURE MESSAGING CENTER

Driving client communications away from technologies like email, without depriving them of direct communication channels. The new messaging center must involve as few clicks as possible while also providing the user with reliable security, identity, and history of their interactions via this 24×7 channel accessed via a mobile device that is protected by biometric and device authentication.

BIOMETRICS AND DEVICE AUTHENTICATION

Eliminating the need for customers to remember company IDs, passwords, PINs and other information to quickly and simply gain access to our products and services, voice and fingerprint biometrics coupled with device authentication for phone, tablet, and PC will create a seamless experience for our clients while protecting their data and assets from fraud.

eVo, OUR NEXT GEN PRODUCT EVOLUTION

Creating a completely new, modern payroll platform for a digital-only, low touch client experience. Focus is on mobile-first, simplified experiences that make the payroll process seamless and the complexity of payroll and tax invisible, almost magical, to the small business owner. The product is the CRM. The experience is so intuitive that clients never have to think about it and can focus their energy on the needs of their small business customers. ​
