ADP + Harness: Engineering the Agentic Future of HCM

Harness is the world’s most trusted AI-driven software delivery platform, engineered for organizations where security isn't optional. Together, we are modernizing the ADLC to ensure ADP ships secure, modern HCM technology at the pace of AI, without compromising the trust of 40 million workers. ADP’s Agentic Future requires a delivery platform built for the speed of AI and the rigors of payroll.

How ADP Cut Rollout Times from Weeks to Days with Harness

ADP replaced fragmented homegrown feature flag systems with Harness FME, cutting rollout times from 1-3 weeks to 1-3 days while handling sub-3 millisecond flag evaluations at enterprise traffic volumes. The proof of value delivered 105% ROI. Extending that same delivery discipline into CD, CI, and Security Testing replaces ADP's fragmented Jenkins pipelines with one governed platform. That is the foundation the ADLC modernization mandate requires.

Feature Flags

Three Weeks to One Day

A unified rollout engine replaces ADP's fragmented homegrown systems, collapsing flag delivery from up to three weeks down to a single day.

Sub-3ms at Enterprise Scale

Low-latency SDKs and edge caching deliver sub-three millisecond evaluations, letting ADP ship flags safely under heavy traffic with zero performance trade-offs.

105% ROI, Proven Fast

ADP hit a 105% return on investment in their initial proof of value, with gains compounding across product lines through faster time-to-value and fewer incidents.

One Standard, Less Cognitive Load

Unified flag creation, approvals, and rollout controls bring consistent governance across teams, cutting production deployment from 1–3 weeks to 1–3 days.

Harness AI Orchestration

Harness is the AI platform for software delivery. Harness provides intelligent automation and agentic AI to transform every stage after code is written - testing, securing, deploying, and optimizing software. This ADP is the ability to unblock and unlock your AI innovation efforts so that your products and services can safely and securely make it into the hands of your customers and end users. AI is not new to Harness. We have been applying AI to software delivery since 2017.

Harness AI combines intelligence and automation to make software delivery faster, safer, and more efficient than ever before. Harness AI consists of a network of intelligent agents that work together to deliver faster, safer, and more automated software delivery. These agents leverage the Software Delivery Knowledge Graph, a continuously updated intelligence layer, that brings full context to how your organization delivers software.

Harness AI: How Agents Work

  • Single Entry Point: One conversational interface across all Harness modules.
  • Agent Orchestration: Breaks requests into smaller tasks for specialized sub-agents.
  • Recursive Delegation: Sub-agents can engage with other agents to process tasks.
  • Parallel Processing: Multiple tasks handled simultaneously, improving speed & accuracy.
  • Outcome: Aggregates results into a single, context-rich answer for the use.
