Meet the Isos Federal Services Team

The Federal government, including the Department of Defense, the Intelligence Community, and administrative offices of all types, are increasingly adopting Atlassian solutions like Jira Service Management, Jira Software, Assets, and Jira Align. These tools can help agencies work more efficiently, support collaboration across offices, and provide access to real-time data about work in progress and critical assets. They are also incredibly flexible, and can securely support many of the complex use cases unique within the Federal government.

At Isos, we’ve built a team of Atlassian-certified, cleared professionals, many of them veterans, with both deep Atlassian expertise and first-hand knowledge of Federal government entities, their networks, and how they operate. If you’re looking to implement or optimize an Atlassian stack, these are just some of the people on the Isos Federal team who can help.
