About Isos

Who we are, where we came from, and what makes us tick.

Our Story

 

The origins of Isos Technology

 

Thad West (CEO), Sonny Coccera (COO), and Joel Brinkman (former Managing Director) all used to work together for a Phoenix-based IBM Business Partner – Unity Software Systems. All three were consultants who specialized in writing custom software for enterprise customers.

In early 2005, the trio left Unity to form their own consulting company – Isos – helping large companies create custom software solutions. But this new consultancy needed software tools to get off the ground. So, in what would prove to be a pivotal purchasing decision, they ended up buying Jira and Confluence.

In 2006, they convinced Danny Riley (VP of Business Development) to join the team and launch a full-scale business development effort for the organization. This was a crucial turning point and, within the next year, the management team had secured several strategic partnerships and new clients. By 2007, business was booming and Rodney West joined the Isos train to round out the ownership group.

The Atlassian turn

 

Since the company’s inception, Isos has always used Atlassian tools. By 2008, the in-house technical teams were such big supporters that we decided to expand our service offering to include Atlassian Services. In 2014, with years of Atlassian problem solving under our collective belt, Isos earned Atlassian Platinum Solution Partner status.

Since 2016, Atlassian has been the sole focus of our company. Offering services like implementations, migrations, training, license management, and managed services, we have established ourselves as a major player in the Atlassian ecosystem of partners, trainers, users, and enthusiasts. This was proven to the world when we were recognized as the global leader in the following categories:

Who We Are Today

 

On December 5th, 2022, CEO Thad West made the announcement that Isos would be joining the portfolio of The Acacia Group, a specialist investor in digital transformation businesses. You can read the press release here.

This is a new and exciting chapter in the Isos Technology story. We are joining forces with the dedicated Atlassian team at MajorKey Technologies, another Acacia portfolio company and a successful Atlassian Platinum Solution Partner in their own right. The complementary skill sets that Isos and MajorKey bring to the table will create an even more impactful experience for our customers, who are—and always have been—our number one priority. Together, we’re in a much stronger position to deliver the untapped potential of the Atlassian tools to a new generation of customers and build deeper, more capable relationships with current customers to drive more value from their Atlassian investment. 

We are unbelievably excited for what the future holds for Isos Technology.

Where we are today

 

Isos' headquarters are still in Tempe, AZ, but we now have employees in offices all across the United States: in major cities like New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Denver, Houston, Chicago, Washington, DC, and Tampa, to name a few. We also have an international presence, with an office in Cebu City, in the Philippines, serving our global clients.

While the company has grown exponentially over the years, we’ve kept the same casual, flexible, and collaborative company culture championed by the co-founders in Isos’ early days.
