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.”

“We are thrilled to partner with SSP and Warren Equity," 3-GIS CEO Tom Counts said. "The pairing of 3-GIS’s telecom product offerings and SSP’s utility product offerings will allow the Company to better serve customers through a combination of market-leading geospatial products, services, consulting, and data management practices.”

In conjunction with the adoption of digital mapping technologies, the infrastructure market is becoming increasingly dependent on GIS-specific data and applications across all business functions, including design and build activities, data management, workforce management, compliance and testing, asset maintenance, and customer service. SSP’s and 3-GIS’s solutions allow customers to optimize their geospatial strategy across all of these facets.

“We believe the addition of 3-GIS’s broad suite of software and experienced team will greatly benefit the SSP platform,” said Scott Bruckmann, Partner at Warren Equity. “The combination of SSP and 3-GIS creates a leading company focused on the digital transformation of asset management in the infrastructure market.”

This transaction is SSP’s fourth add-on acquisition since Warren Equity’s investment in April 2017.
