3-GIS, LLC is a privately held telecommunication software and services company established in 2006.[1] The company provides geospatial asset management solutions for telecommunication network planning, design, construction and management. 3-GIS uses Esri’s ArcGIS Enterprise as a base for their software.[2] Esri map services and third-party layers can be toggled to provide visual context for infrastructure data, and geocoding services are used to identify specific locations. 3-GIS is headquartered in Decatur, Alabama, USA,[1] and has additional offices in Bern, Switzerland[3] and London, England. In 2021, 3-GIS was acquired by SSP Innovations, LLC.[4]
History[edit]
3-GIS was founded in 2006 by three former Intergraph Corporation employees: Thomas Counts, Tommy Siniard and Jerry Golden.[1][5] Their first company, MESA Solutions, was formed in 1996 before being purchased by Telcordia Technologies[6] in 1999 and eventually acquired by Ericsson in 2012.[7] The trio announced their departure in 2006 to pursue the idea of geographically modeling utility networks on a web-based thin client platform.[1][8]
By 2011, 3-GIS partnered with Esri and GISTEC[9] and had begun marketing applications for mapping both utility and telecommunications infrastructure. They had also expanded their client base to international markets[1] and announced a partnership with UtilNet in 2023 targeting the Middle East.[10] In 2017, 3-GIS narrowed its focus to telecommunications infrastructure. They continue to market both on-premises mapping software installations and SaaS options.
