Thad West, CEOIsos Technology has the answer—an agile framework for scaling Agile. The quest to scale Agile in large organizations ends with the best-in-class solutions that Isos Technology brings to the table. As a premier Atlassian Platinum and Enterprise Solution Partner, Isos navigates organizations in both the private and public sector through scaling Agile, by adopting the Atlassian tools for agile development. The dynamic team of process experts at Isos crafts custom solutions, integrations, and training for the clients. “With our roots deep in the development world, we understand the pain points that large organizations face while managing their projects. That said, Isos is focused on delivering large-scale enterprise agile solutions. We offer customized training and coaching to maximize the usage of Atlassian tools and build a customized environment to meet clients’ specific organizational needs,” says West, CEO, Isos Technology.
Isos embraces a coaching model in addition to providing curriculum-based training, helping the teams apply what they have learned from the real scenarios in their enterprise. When scaling Agile in organizations with large, distributed teams, West believes that the biggest measure of success is the level of visibility in an organization. To that end, Isos brings in its finely-honed combination of DevOps, ITSM, and Agile process knowledge, along with their rich Atlassian tool expertise, to help senior-level management in organizations to achieve new levels of visibility, productivity, and collaboration, eliminating time-consuming conversations. The company also assists organizations in unleashing the power of the new Jira Align for scaling Agile at an enterprise level. Jira Align increases visibility amongst teams and accelerates productivity, yielding increased ROI.
While there are several prescriptive frameworks—be it Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe®), Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD), Large Scale Scrum (LeSS)—that can be adopted by organizations to scale Agile, Isos helps improve efficiency and scalability at each stage, regardless of the framework or process chosen by the clients. From consolidating Jira instances to enabling migration to the Atlassian cloud, Isos’ custom solutions can meet diverse scaling needs. Besides its custom solutions and training, the company also provides rapid, high-quality Atlassian support and managed services for the ongoing needs of a growing business. These support and managed services allow the Isos team to work proactively with the clients and ensure that they are getting the maximum value out of their tools.
Form an onboarding perspective, Isos follows an in-depth pre-engagement process to discover the client’s needs and other aspects pertaining to product and timeline alignment. This is followed by implementation iterations spanning two to four weeks, whereby the Isos team demonstrates progress, receives feedback, and readjusts the solution as required. Once the solution is live, the company offers post-production support for the next four to six weeks. As a result of the successful implementation, most clients extend their partnership with Isos for long-term managed services engagement where clients can keep growing and scaling the solution.

The uniqueness of Isos stems from its deep bench of engineers that includes not only software development engineers, but also operational engineers who understand how to maintain and work on servers, establish a secure firewall, and more. Added to that, the experts at Isos—from training, coaching, business process, and tool implementation perspectives—cater to a wide array of industries to help solve some of the toughest business problems. That’s not all; custom integrations and partnerships are among Isos’ strongest suits. Besides being a premier Atlassian Platinum and Enterprise Solution Partner, Isos is also a strategic Amazon partner, helping clients manage their AWS environment, particularly as it relates to the Atlassian toolset. As an upcoming partnership plan, Isos will be joining the partner program of SAFe, in support of their Atlassian efforts. “There are a lot of businesses that we can win on with the AWS and SAFe partnership that is independent of the Atlassian business,” says West.
Moving forward, Isos will unlock new growth opportunities while adding more capabilities to both framework implementation and coaching services.
Isos Technology Strengthens Atlassian Public Sector and Agile Practices with Acquisition of HyperVelocity
Thursday, February 23, 2023
TEMPE, ARIZ - Isos announced the acquisition of HyperVelocity, an Atlassian professional services firm with over 49 Atlassian-accredited specialists. This follows Isos Technology’s recent acquisition by The Acacia Group, specialist investors in digital transformation, as the cornerstone of Acacia’s strategy to build the leading partner in the Atlassian ecosystem. While formally combining with Isos, HyperVelocity will continue to be customer-facing under its own brand name.
Founded in 2014 and based in Vancouver, Washington, the HyperVelocity team specializes in working with enterprise and government clients to optimize their investment in Atlassian, helping their teams collaborate, build, and create. Like Isos, HyperVelocity is an Atlassian Platinum Solution Partner. Through this acquisition, Isos bolsters its Agile Services offering and public sector footprint. HyperVelocity has a wealth of experience honed through years of Agile coaching for enterprise clients, offering bespoke Atlassian and Agile Services to federal, state, and local government agencies. It has worked with some of the world’s leading brands and performed on mission-critical projects for a range of federal agencies.
The combination of HyperVelocity with Isos is the latest step in Acacia’s pureplay Atlassian growth strategy. In December 2022, Acacia acquired Isos and brought it together with the Atlassian practice of MajorKey Technologies, another Acacia company at the forefront of enterprise digital transformation. The combined business has over 130 Atlassian-accredited specialists, placing it firmly among the top 5 companies in Atlassian’s global partner ecosystem. With extensive expertise across ITSM, Agile, DevOps, and cloud migration, its team has decades of experience helping hundreds of enterprise and public sector clients get the most value from their Atlassian investment.
“This is an exciting and transformative time for us,” said Thad West, CEO of Isos Technology. “We’ve recently joined forces with the talented Atlassian practice of MajorKey, and now we’re fortunate to be able to welcome the HyperVelocity team to the fold. From the moment we met them with our colleagues from Acacia, we felt a remarkable cultural alignment with the folks at HyperVelocity. We have been hugely impressed with their rapid growth and vast knowledge and experience around Agile and working with the public sector. We look forward to continued growth and expansion in the Atlassian ecosystem for years to come.”
“Bringing Isos and HyperVelocity together creates a powerful combination of our federal and Agile capabilities, along with Isos’ renowned expertise in ITSM and DevOps,” said Megan Hoelle, President of HyperVelocity. “Together with our new colleagues at Isos, we’re looking forward to supporting the customers we love through projects of greater scale and complexity. The teams at Acacia and Isos have been a dream to work with. We have a shared ambition for the Atlassian ecosystem and total alignment on the importance of relentless focus on exceptional and responsive customer service. We’re most excited about what this means for our team as we create more opportunities for professional growth and do work that really makes a difference. We can’t wait to get started.”
“Isos and HyperVelocity have been hugely valued and successful partners within the Atlassian ecosystem for many years now,” said Ko Mistry, Head of Global Channels for Atlassian. “Both companies have independently helped customers achieve huge successes by optimizing the Atlassian stack for maximum ROI. I’m thrilled to see Isos and HyperVelocity unite in a unique blend of expertise and experience that will deliver even more value from Atlassian to both current and prospective customers."
