| SAP | Legacy | SAP Concur Expense | Expense Management | ERP | n/a | 2016 | 2016 |
In 2016, Marriott UK provisioned SAP Concur Expense as its Expense Management platform to manage and submit general managers’ expense reports across its United Kingdom hotel estate. The deployment focused on centralizing expense submission workflows for hotel general managers and standardizing policy enforcement for hospitality-specific expense categories.
SAP Concur Expense was configured to support expense entry, mobile receipt capture, automated expense report generation, policy validation, and multi-step approval routing aligned to hotel and regional finance controls. Configuration emphasized role-based approval flows for general managers, expense type controls for per diem and travel allowances, and consolidated reporting views for finance and payroll reconciliation.
Operational coverage included hotel general managers and centralized finance teams within Marriott UK, with governance layered around finance-owned approval chains and documented submission procedures. The implementation of SAP Concur Expense established a single cloud-based Expense Management workflow for GM expense submission and approver orchestration across the Marriott UK footprint.

| Oracle | Legacy | Oracle Cloud HCM | Core HR | HCM | Symatrix | 2017 | 2018 |
In 2017 Marriott UK implemented Oracle Cloud HCM as its Core HR solution to separate HR and payroll operations following the sale by Whitbread, meeting a fixed one year transitional services agreement deadline. The program required a complete separation of IT infrastructure and delivery of a new HR and payroll application for approximately 10,000 employees across the United Kingdom and Ireland.
Symatrix delivered a 99 percent vanilla configuration of Oracle Cloud HCM, minimizing customisation to accelerate deployment and control cost. The implementation centralized a single merged HR and payroll database, deployed core HR and payroll modules, and supported complex payroll processing workflows while preserving configuration flexibility for future requirements.
Operational coverage included about 69 Marriott venues and 12 Hotel and Country Clubs in the UK and Ireland, and the deployment supported shared services operations under Marriott Hotels International Europe. The system interfaces with Marriott's general ledger to align payroll accounting with finance systems, and the implementation was positioned as a replicable model for other Marriott geographies.
Project governance emphasized accelerated cutover timelines and pragmatic adoption of best practice processes, with Symatrix providing implementation leadership and configuration guidance. Outcomes explicitly cited by Marriott UK include improved cost transparency and improved HR processes and efficiencies following the Oracle Cloud HCM deployment.
