Millennium IT ESP (or Millennium IT as it was known then) was founded in 1996 as a systems integrator and SUN Micro systems authorized reseller. The following year, the Company rose to prominence as it entered into software design and development when it designed and installed a straight through processing system for the Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE).  The same year, the Company built the first suite of telecom software for Dialog Axiata or Dialog GSM as it was known then, Sri Lanka’s leading GSM telecom provider.

These significant milestones which paved the country’s IT industry to new heights, not only placed Sri Lanka on the world map, inspired budding technology entrepreneurs, and set the industry on a growth trajectory but also cemented Millennium IT ESP as a leading IT solutions provider in the country. The company went on to become one of the world’s leading developers of high-performance trading systems and eventually formed the exchange technology hub of the London Stock Exchange Group following the acquisition that took place in the year 2009.

In December 2017, Ambeon Group acquired the enterprise solutions business along with a 100% stake of Millennium IT ESP from London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) with management and shareholding control. As part of this acquisition agreement, Ambeon also entered into a wider ownership plan with the employees of Millennium IT ESP giving them an equity stake and enabling them to play a significant role in shaping the company’s future as owner managers.

Today Millennium IT ESP is the preferred partner of global technology giants including Oracle, Microsoft, IBM, Dell, Hitachi and Infosys. It is also a reputed solutions provider for leading Sri Lankan private and public entities. Its latest enterprise solutions power many crucial sectors of the economy such as export manufacturing, financial services, logistics and shipping, real estate, and telecommunication. Some of Millennium IT ESP’s clients include top-tier corporates, leading banks, and conglomerates.

The success stories of Millennium IT ESP are immense.

• As the leader in enterprise technology for the telecommunication industry, Millennium IT ESP, together with its global partners, has produced robust technology architecture and infrastructure, and reliable and scalable enterprise solutions for the sector. Millennium IT ESP provides Sri Lanka Telecom and Mobitel with enterprise grade critical servers and implementation of Enterprise Consolidated Backup Solution based on Veritas Netbackup for enterprise data centers.

• In 2008 when Sri Lanka Telecom introduced a game changer and ventured into the television space in Sri Lanka in the form of PeoTV, Millennium IT ESP provided the IPTV platform and digital CRM solutions to PeoTV in this audience-empowering business. Millennium IT ESP also enabled Sri Lanka telecom to reconstruct the architecture of the television industry and secure the dominant design in the local Pay-TV industry.

• The fast-changing dynamics of the branded apparel industry demands the fail-proof orchestration of a complex supply chain. Upholding system integrity is crucial for delivering high-standard performance in designing, manufacturing, and logistics at high speed. Millennium IT ESP implemented a robust security solution for its compute and endpoint which is its security infrastructure to enhance the Group’s capacity to confront the whole threat lifecycle, protect critical technology infrastructure and ensure information security and safety.

• Millennium IT ESP is also at the forefront of building cognitive solutions to free talent from low value-adding tasks.  “AI BoT” applications designed by Millennium IT ESP have significantly lessened the human interface in people operations at leading apparel Groups and customer service at leading banks, and telecommunication companies.
