3-GIS is leading the future of Geospatial Innovation by developing smart, simple, fast and surprisingly affordable GIS solutions. Our Express Solution software bundle provides desktop and field users alike with easy-to-understand access to complex levels of GIS information and data.
3-GIS, aptly named to reflect what is considered their 3rd Generation of Geospatial Innovation, is the creation of industry veterans; Tom Counts, Jerry Golden and Tommy Siniard. This core team has been developing and delivering GIS software solutions for over 25 years, the first decade at Intergraph Corporation and the second at MESA Solutions (now Telecordia Technologies) and 5 years now with 3-GIS. With their in-depth knowledge of the utility and telecommunication industries, there are few challenges this team has not seen at some point or solved at another. The founding trio’s desire to stay on the cusp of new GIS technology and to deliver the greatest value in a product remains the driving force behind 3-GIS.
3-GIS’s place within Alabama’s high tech corridor, the Huntsville-Decatur Demographic Area, gives them access to a highly talented pool of developers, technicians and engineers. 3-GIS is proud of their designation as an Esri Gold Level Business Partner and Strategic Participant. This partnership allows 3-GIS to tap the resources of key architects and developers of Esri-based technology along with leading businesses. In 2009 3-GIS was awarded Esri’s Business Partner of the Year for Innovative Mobile Application Development and then again in 2011 3-GIS won the Esri Private Web Application Award and the Esri Partners Choice Award, ultimately being selected Best in Show for the Use of Esri Technology.
