Bringing network topology onto ASM GIS map

The customer is running AIOPS 1.6.12 and ASM 1.1.21. We have the GIS map with aggregated data points on the GIS map representing vertices with GIS Lat/Long data.

They also have topology based UI with vertices and edges but no capability to bring GIS map in the same view despite the fact that each vertex has GIS Lat/Long data embedded. 

What there NOC team monitors are primarily “Sites” which contains a number of discoverable network devices with the same Lat/Long data. Between Sites there are logical connections and they are the focus of our NOC team’s monitoring activity. When there are issues happening to certain sites, monitoring the status of the interconnecting sites is always the key.

A rival solution that has what our NOC team’s looking for is built on top of ArcGIS (esri), What the product has delivered is  very similar to what’s demonstrated in the following blog: https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-pro/data-management/how-do-utility-or-trace-network-changes-impact-network-diagrams/.

Is it possible for the ASM development team to add such a feature on top of the current GIS map we have? The edges on the GIS map also need to be clustered / de-clustered together with vertices.
