Daniel Johnson
Owner & Principal Consultant
Fifteen years in corporate IT before founding Lios in 2016. Leads discovery on every new engagement and stays reachable on escalations.
An independent, owner-led technology consultancy at 205 West 9th Street in downtown Austin, working with American businesses since 2016.
Daniel Johnson spent fifteen years inside corporate IT departments watching the same pattern repeat: the company grew, the technology did not, and the provider who was supposed to help sent an invoice for the privilege of not fixing it. In April 2016 he registered Lios Technology Group in Austin with one client, one laptop and a rule that has not changed since — every client gets an engineer whose name they know.
Ten years later the firm is eleven people. We still work out of downtown Austin, we still take on roughly one new managed client a month rather than chasing volume, and Daniel is still on every discovery call. Two thirds of our new business comes from referrals, which we treat as the only marketing metric that matters.
We are not the cheapest option in this city and we do not try to be. What we sell is predictability: published response targets, fixed monthly costs, documentation you own, and the ability to leave with thirty days notice if we stop earning the relationship.

No account managers between you and the people doing the work.
Owner & Principal Consultant
Fifteen years in corporate IT before founding Lios in 2016. Leads discovery on every new engagement and stays reachable on escalations.
Delivery Manager
Runs the project schedule and the weekly client updates. Former systems administrator, so nothing gets promised that cannot be built.
Lead Infrastructure Engineer
Networks, servers and migrations. Has personally cut over more than 80 Microsoft 365 tenants.
Security & Compliance Lead
Builds the remediation programmes and walks clients through insurance and customer security questionnaires.
Data & Reporting Analyst
Turns spreadsheets and ERP exports into models that refresh themselves. Teaches the client team to maintain them.
Client Support Engineer
First voice on the support line for most clients. Known for closing tickets before the caller has finished their coffee.
We take no vendor commissions or referral kickbacks. If a product is wrong for you, we say so.
Every environment we touch is written up, and the write-up lives in your systems as well as ours.
If we do not know how long something will take, we run a paid discovery rather than guess at your expense.
Thirty days notice, full credential handover, no exit fees. Retention through service, not contracts.

We publish this so you can verify who you are dealing with before any money changes hands.
