Isos and the Atlassian practice of MajorKey Technologies join forces to create a new Platinum-level Partner powerhouse in the Atlassian ecosystem<\/em><\/p>\n

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8, 2022<\/strong> - The Acacia Group today announced the launch of a pure-play Atlassian investment strategy with the acquisition of Isos Technology<\/a>, an award-winning Atlassian Platinum and Enterprise Solution Partner with customers across the public and private sectors. Isos forms the cornerstone of Acacia\u2019s strategy to build the leading partner in the Atlassian ecosystem, enabling enterprise customers to accelerate their digital transformation initiatives.<\/p>\n

Isos, founded in 2005 and based in Tempe, Arizona, is a professional and managed services business enabling customers to design, implement and scale their Atlassian environment, driving stronger performance for growing organizations. Led by CEO Thad West, who founded the company in 2005 with Chief Information Officer Sonny Coccera, Isos has a team of over 90 Atlassian-accredited specialists. Isos is a highly valued partner in the Atlassian ecosystem, having been named Partner of the Year in the Enterprise category in 2019 and in the ITSM category in 2020.<\/p>\n

Central to Acacia\u2019s growth strategy for Isos is its combination with the Atlassian practice of MajorKey Technologies, a company at the forefront of Acacia\u2019s commercial digital transformation portfolio. MajorKey\u2019s team of Atlassian specialists brings a highly complementary skill set to Isos, with deep experience in consulting, cloud migration and ITSM services for their customers. Like Isos, MajorKey\u2019s team is a Platinum and Enterprise Solution Partner to Atlassian and was named Partner of the Year: ITSM Solutions in 2021.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe visionaries at Atlassian have created products and tools that are mission-critical to the digital transformation of businesses worldwide,\u201d said Craig Dawson, co-founder and partner at Acacia. \u201cBy combining the outstanding Atlassian teams from Isos and MajorKey, we are creating a new powerhouse to deliver on the full potential of Atlassian tools for a new generation of customers while also building deeper, more effective relationships with current customers to drive more value from their Atlassian investment. We have been highly impressed by the quality and reputation of the people at Isos and are delighted that our valued colleagues from MajorKey\u2019s Atlassian team will be part of another compelling growth story within the Acacia portfolio.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m thrilled to team up with Acacia and MajorKey to expand our service portfolio and strengthen our position in an already impressive Atlassian partner community,\u201d said West, CEO of Isos. \u201cThe complementary skill sets and talent that Isos and MajorKey bring to the table will create an even more impactful experience for our customers, who are \u2014 and always have been \u2014 our No. 1 priority. I\u2019m also excited by the opportunities this creates for people from Isos and MajorKey as part of a dynamic and growing business with a culture centered on collaboration and innovation. We\u2019re looking forward to a very bright future together.\u201d<\/p>\n

The newly combined business under Isos forms one of the largest in the Atlassian partner ecosystem. Together, they have over 120 employees supporting hundreds of customers across the United States. As with all its portfolio companies, Acacia will work closely with the Isos management team to invest in its organic growth strategy and plan to make further acquisitions from the Atlassian partner community.<\/p>\n

\u201cIsos and MajorKey have been trusted Atlassian partners for many years,\u201d said Cameron Deatsch, chief revenue officer of Atlassian. \u201cIt\u2019s great to see these highly skilled teams joining forces with the backing of Acacia. This move aligns with Atlassian\u2019s enthusiasm for enterprise partners capable of tackling more complex programs on a larger scale alongside a willingness to invest in advancing the Atlassian mission. We\u2019re looking forward to the positive impact the strengthened Isos team will have on unleashing the power of teamwork for customers across the U.S.\u201d<\/p>\n

Acacia\u2019s investment strategy with Isos is grounded in the market traction Atlassian continues to build by providing an end-to-end solutions suite that enables scalable, cost-effective digital transformation. This is fueled by the growing need to bring software development and business operations closer together, increasing nontechnical engagement with agile tools and practices. The simplicity of Atlassian products makes this challenge much easier to meet.<\/p>\n
