Case Study: Education Affiliates achieves centralized HR and $150K+ savings with ADP Vantage (ADP)

Helping Education Affiliates Streamline Acquisitions into one Centralized System

Education Affiliates Inc., a Baltimore-based post-secondary education provider with 2,600 employees across 51 locations, expanded rapidly through acquisitions that left it with multiple, disconnected payroll and HR systems. Recruitment, benefits and employee data were managed separately at each site, creating delays, extra training burdens for corporate HR and payroll, and growing operational risk—so the company sought a centralized solution.

By implementing ADP Vantage, Education Affiliates consolidated payroll, HR and time-and-attendance into one customizable, mobile-accessible platform, phasing out legacy systems and simplifying training. The change sped internal audits from days to hours, improved reporting and benchmarking via ADP DataCloud, cut costs (saving over $150,000 in year one), and freed HR to focus on strategic initiatives while ADP continues to provide updates and support.
