I don't remember that being the case for Brown. When we started doing 
this there were already several schools that were not IC members that 
were already using SAML with ADP.

that was also our experience. we couldn't get them to join.

In addition.. ahhhh, how to say this in a non-pejorative fashion --

it took considerable effort on our part to find THE person at ADP with 
SAML clue.

Note that following our move to Workday we no longer use ADP.
