ADP Honors Clients for Their Partnership and Commitment To Excellence; ADP Announces Annual Client Award Winners.

ROSELAND, N.J. -- ADP(R) National Account Services (NAS), part of ADP's Employer Services Division, a leading provider of outsourced payroll, benefits and HR services for large employers, today announced its annual client award winners as part of the ADP Meeting of the Minds Conference - 2005. The awards presented were designed to recognize the contributions of ADP clients who have been exceptional partners during the preceding year in four distinct areas of achievement. This year, fourteen companies were presented awards in the following categories: Strategic Excellence, Solution Innovation, Most Valued Partner (MVP) and ADP Advocate of the Year.

"The Meeting of the Minds Conference celebrates the mutual success that ADP and its clients have achieved throughout the year," said Jay Rising, President, ADP National Account Services. "We are very proud of the ongoing relationships that we have built with our customers. This event gives ADP a chance to honor our clients' successes and their contributions to ADP's products, services and solutions."

Among the winners for Strategic Excellence was Outback Steakhouse(R). This award is given to customers that have successfully integrated ADP products and services into their core initiatives and have a proven record of using ADP's services to improve efficiencies, and save resources, money or time. With 950 restaurants worldwide, Outback has experienced phenomenal growth in its two years with ADP. In the United States and Mexico, alone, the company now has more than 85,000 employees and is centralizing its back-office systems with its shared services group, which specializes in providing specific business processes, such as payroll, sales and accounts payable, across all seven restaurant concepts. Additionally, through its use of ADP's payroll services, Outback has been able to spend more time focusing on core business processes.

"It's a very unique relationship," said Dan Boyle, Payroll Systems Administrator, Outback Steakhouse. "The ease of our partnership with ADP has made it seem like a decade-long union. ADP offers us the most qualified and accessible service, ensuring that our business needs are consistently met in a timely fashion."

ADP client Credit Suisse First Boston (CSFB), one of the world's most successful investment banking firms, was also honored at Meeting of the Minds as an ADP Advocate of the Year. CSFB was one of the first companies to utilize ADP's Comprehensive Outsourcing Services (COS), a fully-administered, end-to-end HR Business Process Outsourcing solution. This award is presented to clients who have participated in numerous programs in support of ADP National Account Services, and have helped ADP to spread the word about the quality of its products and services. Advocate support by customers often takes the following forms: verbal references; printed and video case studies; feature articles; reference letters and published articles. CSFB has continually partnered with ADP to improve COS methods for payroll audit and balancing, as well as enhanced communication, which have been used to streamline processes for other COS clients.

"Following the merger of Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette with CSFB, we needed to make a decision on how to integrate two separate and distinct payroll environments," said Gary Stuto, Director of Payroll, Credit Suisse First Boston. "Partnering with ADP and using its Comprehensive Outsourcing Services allowed us to develop a cost-effective solution to bring the two departments together."

Additional award categories at the Meeting of the Minds Conference are the Solution Innovation Award and the MVP Award. The Solution Innovation award is presented to clients who have demonstrated an outstanding commitment and contribution to the future direction of ADP services, products and functionality, while the MVP Award is an appreciation award to recognize particularly strong ADP/client relationships.
