3-GIS founders, Tom Counts, Tommy Siniard, and Jerry Golden, will continue to spearhead the advancement of 3-GIS products and services throughout the telecom industry while continuing to build the joint company’s international presence. Dustin Sutton, President of 3-GIS, will continue overseeing all aspects of the telecom business line in coordination with SSP CEO Skye Perry.
“Through the acquisition of 3-GIS, we are creating a market leader across the Esri utility and telecom verticals," SSP CEO Skye Perry said. "We are excited to support 3-GIS’s continued growth while aligning them with the SSP brand and strong utility presence.”
