Summary

ADP, a large business outsourcing solution provider, is adapting its business to meet the demands of modern consumers by focusing on innovation and listening to its users. To facilitate this, ADP's IT team created an innovation lab and holds annual conferences where top executives showcase new ideas. The company validated its customers' need for a better mobile experience, leading to the development of an app that provides employees with a single view of all HR services. With over 1 million users across 41,000 clients, the app has been successful in increasing sales productivity by 20% due to better products. ADP chose MongoDB as its database due to its fast performance, scalability, reliability, and flexibility. The company's use of MongoDB enabled it to bring an app to market quickly and iterate on it continuously, discovering new ways to listen to users and cater to their needs. ADP is now looking to implement MongoDB across the organization to support further innovation.
