"3-GIS is extremely proud and excited to add Geoplex to our growing, yet very select, team of strategic partners. It’s not often you find cultural alignment with a company on the other side of the world, but with Geoplex, we have done exactly that. From a customer focused approach to key foundational principals of integrity, hard work, and a willingness to do whatever it takes to ensure customer satisfaction, I am absolutely convinced this is a relationship for the long run with great potential to grow together."

"3-GIS is an innovator that believes in breaking glass and changing the game. It takes special partners that can think beyond how it’s done today and how can we do it tomorrow; better, faster, and more efficiently. The spirit and approach of Geoplex not only embodies the same guiding principles of 3-GIS but very literally mirrors it. I believe together, we will create a new mindset toward GIS in the telecom and utility markets. It doesn’t have to be hard, expensive, and complicated; it is smart, simple, and fast. Just try it once with 3-GIS and Geoplex and I guaranteed you’ll be amazed at what you find” said Tom Counts, CEO, 3-GIS.
