Challenges
- Without a full-service HR solution to house employee and company data, mergers and acquisitions (M&As) were disjointed and challenging.
- Employees from newly acquired entities were managed separately through their respective companies’ software, resulting in a manual and disconnected payroll and HR process.
- Maintaining compliance for newly acquired companies alongside their existing portfolio was a complex, multijurisdictional headache.
How ADP helped
- Through a powerful decade-long partnership with ADP, the APG team has navigated high-stakes, time-sensitive mergers and acquisitions, all with compliance, administrative, HR and payroll support from ADP, allowing them to fulfill their employer obligations while making sure every employee has the resources they need to thrive.

Multi-state compliance for acquisition
Evaluation and decision-making often have to happen quickly when creating, selling and acquiring new companies. ADP’s compliance support eliminates the compliance challenges and limitations that accompany these types of business decisions. “If we didn’t have ADP’s support, it would be very challenging for us to navigate compliance and regulations across different states, all of which affect our business decisions,” says Mari.
