Episode notes
ML Across the Organization
- ADP uses machine learning throughout the company, both in new products and legacy systems.
- ML is delivered through microservices and APIs, enabling broader usage and enhancing older applications.
Data Cloud Platform
- ADP's data cloud platform incorporates AWS services, partner technologies, and open-source tools.
- This approach allows flexibility and addresses specific data security needs while leveraging existing resources.
Building Platforms Iteratively
- Avoid building platforms from scratch; start with specific applications and extract common elements.
- Iterative development, informed by real-world use cases, is more effective than an all-encompassing initial design.
