Operating in 13 countries, Canadian company Celestica’s 27,000 employees provide supply chain solutions for firms across a wide range of markets, from aerospace and defense to communications and enterprise. Penny Cavener, senior director of Celestica Global HR Solutions in Global Business Services, recounts how the company transitioned to a cloud-based human capital management (HCM) solution and returned great results for the business.

We feel very safe and secure in the fact that ADP’s area of expertise is making sure that these technology platforms are compliant for us. ADP gives us a tremendous sense of comfort and security in knowing that they take responsibility for that with all of our payroll systems.
