Who we are

A clearer view of infrastructure

3-GIS was founded around a simple but powerful idea: network teams need a better way to manage the physical assets that keep people, businesses, and communities connected. Our name reflects the third generation of network management, moving beyond paper drawings and CAD-based desktop systems into web-based, GIS platforms that enable enterprise collaboration, data integrity, and real-time operational visibility.

Today, 3-GIS powers organizations across the telecommunications, electric, and gas industries with software and services built for the full infrastructure lifecycle. From fiber network planning and design to utility field operations, asset inventory, maintenance, and modernization, we give teams a dependable source of network truth.

Why 3-GIS

Experience you can build on

Infrastructure networks are too important to manage with disconnected systems, incomplete records, or generic software. 3-GIS gives teams the technology and expertise to manage complex assets with confidence today and as their networks evolve.

Infrastructure expertise

Work with a team that understands the complexity of telecom, utility, and GIS-based network management.

3-GIS brings practical industry knowledge to the software, services, support, and implementation guidance customers need to manage critical network assets more effectively.

Trusted network data

Build an accurate, connected, and actionable view of your network.

When teams can rely on shared network data, they can make better decisions across planning, design, construction, operations, maintenance, and long-term growth.

Lifecycle support

Move beyond single workflows with tools designed for the full infrastructure lifecycle.

3-GIS gives organizations command of their network data and work across the stages that matter most, from early planning through field execution and ongoing operations.

Built to evolve

Support changing networks, business needs, and infrastructure demands.

As networks expand and technology requirements change, 3-GIS gives teams the power to scale, modernize, and adapt without losing sight of the assets and data that matter.
