What is ADP system design? When talking about Information Technology. Can you define ADP?
RSS
As far as I know ADP stands for "Automatic Data Processing" which is just a very old term for computer systems.
I'm surprised that anyone uses that term any more though, so it may have some specialised meaning. If you explain more about the context, people may be able to help better.
However it's also the name on a company that provides payroll processing services, so if that is relevant, that might be what was meant.

• Glad to have a computer history lesson on archaic terms from the 60's relating to computers and automatic data processing we have come a long way from punch cards.
