Millennium

Unit4 Financials Elite Partner Millennium Consulting and Unit4 ERP Premier Partner Hennessy IT Consulting have today announced a strategic alliance to deliver Unit4 ERP and FP&A software and services.

Founded in 1995, Millennium Consulting is a Unit4 Financials software and services company with offices in the UK, Italy and the United States whilst Hennessy IT Consulting has offices in Scotland and Ireland delivering Unit4 ERP software consultancy and was established in 2010.

Millennium Consulting CEO, Philip Keet states that “The Millennium and Hennessy alliance will combine the strength of our companies, allowing us to be a focused delivery implementor, combining the Millennium’s expertise and customer centric capabilities currently provided for Unit4 Financials to drive excellence in Unit4 ERP software and services delivery“.

The alliance will subsequently be formalised in a Joint-Venture company which will enable each party to contribute fully to enabling customers to successfully deploy software from the Unit4 product suite.

Joining forces and sharing expertise, that is what the partnership between Millennium Consulting and the Dutch consultancy Diesis is all about.

Separately both companies have more than 25 years of experience with Unit4 Financials. The companies already meet regularly in the field and share experiences and knowledge around Unit4 Financials. With this agreement, the co-operation between the only two Global Unit4 Financials Elite partners is confirmed.

Jeremy Lucas, Chief Operating Officer of Millennium Consulting said: “I am delighted about the partnership agreement with Diesis. We are looking forward to working together and using our extensive experience and combined knowledge to greatly enhance the support of Unit4 Financials clients globally.”

Tino Wendriks, Managing Director at Diesis added: “We have known Millennium for a long time since we both have been operating on the Unit4 Financials (Coda) market for more than two decades. Just like Diesis, Millennium can also call upon many years of knowledge and experience, both functional and technical. Our co-operation will lead to a further strengthening of both our positions in the Unit4 Financials market. Whereby we can help each other in supporting our international clients!”

We look forward to a successful partnership and continuing and deepening our support of the Unit4 customer base.

Next week on Monday 29th March, Millennium Consulting will be moving to new head-quarters in the former NatWest Bank building in Hythe, Kent, England. Since 2017 the building has been empty following the closure of the branch however an extensive refurbishment/modernisation program has taken place in recent months and the building is now ready for occupation.

“We are looking forward to moving to this beautiful Grade 2 listed building at the heart of the local Hythe community. Our Kent employees live in Hythe and the surrounding areas and we expect the new office will become a dynamic collaborative hub for the business. We are excited about the team and infrastructure we are putting in place as we prepare for the post-pandemic era.” Philip Keet, Millennium Consulting CEO.

In 2020, Millennium Consulting celebrated 25 years supporting clients with Finance Transformation and Regulatory Change programs. Having started out in 1995 as a specialist finance systems consultancy, the wider challenges of Y2K were soon recognised and attention switched to transitioning a diverse range of clients to new Y2K compliant software. Based initially in the City of London, the company relocated to Hythe in 2009.

Today Millennium Consulting is an international management consultancy that supports clients with the deployment of next generation financial and operational technology. The company works globally across multiple industry sectors and has teams located in Italy and the US.
