Renfrewshire Council

As the Head of ICT, I have had the opportunity to work with Colm Hennessy and his team since January 2018 in their advisory role to support the implementation of Renfrewshire Council’s Business World Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. Hennessy IT Consulting have supported the implementation of the partially installed ERP system and provided advice and guidance to assist in matching the Council’s business requirements to ERP functionality.

With their assistance, the Council was able to implement the ERP for the go live date of the 1st of October 2018. Colm and his team have continued to provide further support now that the ERP system is live to ensure that optimum system performance is achieved. During this time, they have proven to be one of the most knowledgeable, talented, hard-working, and innovative specialist teams that I have worked with throughout my own lengthy career in local government. Without their knowledge, drive and relentless efforts, we would not have achieved our go live date.

Hennessy IT Consulting’s in-depth understanding of Business World across all functional areas including HR and Payroll, P2P, R2R, AP and S2C has been an indispensable part of the successful implementation of our ERP system. Colm and his team possess the vision and analytical skills required to quickly assess options, forecast trouble spots and resolve potential issues. Their attention to detail and willingness ‘to go that extra mile’ will be sadly missed within Renfrewshire Council.

Hennessy IT Consulting have strong written and verbal communication skills and an ability to tailor communications depending on their audience. They communicate in a way which is clear, open, honest, and constructive – they share, listen and respond to information, options, ideas and instructions. Colm and this team can manage diverse workloads and meet deadlines. They have demonstrated strong and fair leadership skills – they are able to inspire confidence and credibility.

Given their ERP expertise, attention to detail, and exemplary work ethic, I have no doubt that you will find Hennessy IT Consulting to be an invaluable contributor to your organization. Please contact me if there is any other information I can provide in support of this testimonial.
