Travel + Leisure Co. is the world’s leading membership and leisure travel company, with a portfolio of nearly 20 resort, travel club, and lifestyle travel brands. With more than 250 resorts under 20 brands across 28 countries and more than 20,000 employees, T+L operates three business lines: Wyndham Destinations, the world's largest vacation ownership business; Panorama, which operates vacation exchange, membership travel, and travel technology businesses; and Travel + Leisure Group, offering consumer travel products, including online and subscription travel services, and product licensing.
Travel + Leisure Co. (T+L) has Workday as their core HR system. The company has now chosen to implement replacement systems for timekeeping, scheduling and payroll, all of which need to integrate with Workday and other business applications. This presented a challenge for T+L's internal integration team.
T+L going forward strategy is to leverage API integrations versus flat file integrations where possible and decided to leverage TCC's expertise with Workday, UKG, and their existing smart connectors, as well as TCC's integration platform as an open IPaaS with training and support.
This migration involved shifting to API-to-API integration, offering improved agility (increased frequency of execution), synchronicity (comparison of data between systems to track changes), and improved security (mitigating security issues associated with flat files).
Additionally, T+L now has the capability to develop integrations on the TCC IPaaS independently after completing a training program, making them self-sufficient.
"What we liked best about The Cloud Connectors is their responsiveness, their partnership approach, their availability and expertise, and, moreover, their open IPaaSand training support. This has allowed us to create many of our required integrations ourselves and create a platform on which we can continue to build."

Key Takeaways
Combining TCC HR integration experts and a leading integration platform was a winning recipe for achieving results and delivering robust and reliable integration solutions. T+L saved time and expenses by leveraging TCC’s deep knowledge in connecting Workday to UKG Pro and UKG Pro Workforce Management™ (formerly UKG Dimensions®).
Moreover, self-sufficiency is now a reality, with the TCC open iPaaS and training program. T+L integration staff can now build integrations to connect all their other HR software after just a few weeks of training.
Summary
When you're trying to take your business to the next level, to stay ahead of competition, you first focus on your product development and work with partners who have not only the best support tools, but also the industry expertise to put those tools to use. For integrations, TCC is that partner. Outsourcing the integration between Workday and UKG to TCC, saved time and costs, and building internal expertise in the use of the TCC IPaaS allows for self-sufficiency.
