When asked, a spokesman for ADP declined to comment. "Alyzia thinking for several months to bring a partner in the group. She began confidential discussions with several potential partners for over a year," he told AFP a source familiar with the matter. This source, however, stressed that "nothing indicates that ADP will finally decide to press the button, that is to say, confirm the operation. "We must not forget that this is the fate of 3,500 employees, the third of ADP," she noted.
