Mr. Dixon/Brent,

All English caUs are handled in the United States by SECURUS employees. Most Spanish calls are handled in the United
States by Securus Spanish speaking employees. Based on communication quality and effectiveness as measured by
Securus "Customer Value Survey" scores, Securus does outsource between four (4) and seven (7) percent of Spanish
calls (based on recent call volume data) to Mexico. We have detailed tracking and metrics regarding both domestic and
international caU centers and can show that the satisfaction from customers supported by Mexico is as high as domestic
calls. The Spanish handled call volume varies monthly as does overall call volume and at its peak is about seven (7)
percent oftotal call volume and on average is four (4) percent.
Please don't hesitate to contact

me if I can be of further assistance.

Re: RFP No. B2Z11019 for an Offender Telephone System

Dear Mr. Dixon,
Securus Technologies, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "$ecurus"), appreciates the opportunity to
submit our response to RFP# B2Z11019. Our teams have been speaking with key contacts within
the Missouri Department of Corrections over the course of the last year prior to the release of the
Request for Proposal (RFP) and we are pleased to offer this customized proposal for your review
and consideration.
The Securus Team is uniquely qualified to present this response as our team is comprised of
individuals that have past experience in your existing offender calling system's operation and have
completed extensive due diligence in your current operating environment. Our team has visited
your sites, met with executive level and administrative personnel throughout your facilities and
met with key partners such as Huber & Associates, Guarded Exchange LLC, and ShawnTech
Communications, Inc. We believe we have a keen understanding of your environment and your
needs.
Securus hopes that you find our response best meets the immediate and long-term goals of the
Missouri Department of Corrections. We have carefully created this proposal with your explicit
requirements in mind but also with an eye towards adding new and innovative technologies over
the course of the proposed five-year agreement. We have created new partnerships to deliver
creative solutions to the state agency in the areas of investigative tools, programming, and cell
detection.
Our solution is offered at no cost to the state agency, and is a fully "turnkey," highly reliable
enterprise hosted system that ensures the protection of the public and provides robust
investigative tools to facilitate law enforcement efforts. We also included the required integration

interfaces to Huber & Associates so your existing trust and banking systems can continue to run
uninterrupted aver the course of the agreement. We have contracted with ShawnTech
Communications to minimize disruption during cutover to a new system. Moreover, we have
contracted with Guarded Exchange LLC to provide call monitoring resources and new technology to
scan calls.
Our proposal includes industry leading hosted network architecture with the Secure Call Platform
(SCP) as the cornerstone in the delivery of offender call processing with a comprehensive suite of
security and investigative tools, including real-time remote call forwarding detection. This
architecture has recently been selected through a competitive bidding process by Texas
Department of Criminal Justice, and the Florida Department of Corrections. Each selected Securus
for their offender telephone system and the system has been successfully deployed on time and as
promised.
By selecting Securus, the state agency is partnering with a company who develops its own software,
builds its own systems and is responsible for the maintenance of its equipment. Securus has more
than 70 patents underlying its technology with the largest and most experienced staff of developers
and engineers of any company in the industry. Friends and family will be offered very low calling
rates and receive the very best service in the industry through our Dallas, Texas, based customer
care center managed and staffed by Securus personnel. All customer calls will be handled by
Securus directly and not outsourced to overseas or domestic call center providers. This is a very
Significant differentiator in our industry. By owning our own call center, Securus can provide high
quality, live, customer service that eliminates calls to state agency personnel from frustrated family
members or advocacy groups.
The approach Securus has taken in responding to this request for a turnkey fully operational and
reliable system, is to present a proposal that meets or exceed all of the RFP requirements,
establishes fair and balanced call pricing with due consideration to the need for new investigative
capabilities, and the need to deploy new technology over the course of the agreement. We look
forward to a detailed discussion with the Missouri Department of Corrections and the evaluation
team specifically, to discuss the detail of our plan.
The proposed Securus SCP calling platform architecture is configured vastly different than your
current PCS/GTL system. Similar to your existing system, our enterprise SCP has the advantage of
eliminating complex call systems on-site at your locations and replacing them with state-of-art lAD
units that facilitate communication through our Secure Call Network. But different from your
existing system. the Securus SCP OTS is continually updated and can be integrated with new
investigative technology that will dramatically increase the efficiency of investigators time spent
reviewing calls. You can count on your investigators spending less time 1istening to calls of little
value and more time listening to pre-screened. high content calls that have actionable information.
The centralized hosted data environment offered by Securus enables the state agency to have
access to a greater amount of data, more quickly perform searches, safeguard the data in a more
secure location, and more efficiently meet all of the investigative requirements of the state agency.
While this is not an "outsourced solution", our centralized enterprise system is consistent with the
States movement to the new Enterprise Resource Information Management Strategy.

Executive Summary
The offender telephone industry is currently undergoing a transformation that will impact the
Missouri Department of Corrections (state agency) for years to come. Companies are merging, new
companies are entering the space, and existing companies are forging new partnerships. The chOice
you are about to make is critical and your ability to separate the reality from the hype will
determine the service and technology that will be deployed in your facilities for the next five years
or more. It will also determine whom you will collaborate with for the next five years. Your current
vendor has merged with another company. Make no mistake. it is no longer the company you chose
five years ago. One can argue that the best way to predict the next five years is to Jook at the last
five years.

•

During the past five years. Securus has stood the test of time and met the challenges of the evolving
industry. No, we have not been perfect; however. we have stayed steadfast in our determination to
build a company based on quality customer service for friends and families and to deliver new
technologies for our clients that provides features for corrections officers designed, in part, to save
lives. That's right, our Securus Call Platform includes more than 450 distinct features many of
which are specifically designed to enhance the safety and security of the public and your staff.
Examples of our features include the following:
•

•

Three-way call detection. Securus holds the patents on every major method of
detecting three-way calling in the market today. No other vendor comes close to
Securus in reliability and performance in this important area of securitY.

•

Patented, real time remote call forward detection is a standard feature that identifies
when a called party has forwarded the number dialed by the offender to another
number. No other vendor has the real time capability to block the call if desired by
MODOC. This feature also allows for the call to complete and be "flagged" in the system
for investigative purposes.

•

~

Officer Check]n feature that times and documents officers' arrival at key check points
within the facility and provides a notification when the officer does not arrive at the
required location in time.

•

•

Covert Alert feature with barge-in capability so that investigators can take immediate
action when threatening activity is detected; no matter where the officer may be at the
time of the activity.

lnteragency sharing of records. We record more than one million calls per day and have
over 63% of our customers on the same system that we are proposing to MODOC.
Because the proposed SCP calling platform is a centralized web based service, sharing
of investigative data is as easy as a click of a mouse. Many of the surrounding Counties
in Missouri are on the SCP platform. In fact, over 100 Missouri jails and prisons are

currently using Securus technology. With the appropriate approvals, call detail records,
recordings, and data from other counties and/or from other Securus customers can be
made available to your investigators.
•

Investigative software that analyzes and filters call recordings by scanning the call with
sophisticated software and then sending the call to trained call monitors who listen to
the call to confirm and expand the initial indications by the software. If the call meets
predetermined parameters, set by your Office of Inspector, the call is forwarded to
investigators with the initial call notes. Additionally, when combined with the Securus
SCP OTS Word Spotting feature and the optional JLG investigative biometric,
investigators spend more time listening to actionable calls and less time listening to
"false positives." Our JLG Technology option provided by Securus will also scan
recorded calls for indications that the PIN owner who established the call is no longer
on the call or the call has been joined by an offender previously enrolled in the voice
biometric service at the Missouri Department of Corrections.

•

Key Word Spotting feature that will scan calls for key words from a library that has
been established by law enforcement personnel from a broad spectrum of facilities;
and is routinely updated.

Over the course of the recent past, we have also been busy building partnerships and alliances that
deliver the tools and technology that our clients are demanding. Specifically for this proposal, we
have created a partnership with Guarded Exchange LLC to provide new investigative call center and
call analysis software that will guarantee a minimum of five percent of all calls are listened to and
analyzed for suspected criminal behavior. But better yet, we have combined our SCP features such
as three-way calling detection, remote call forward detection and key word spotting to the Guarded
Exchange technology to enhance the probability of identifying suspected conduct that may suggest
escape plans; introduction of drugs; potential assaults, the use of cell phones, and other violent
crimes on staff.

•
:

We have also formed a strong strategic partnership with Huber & Associates to ensure that the
interfaces being used today to facilitate banking and commissary operations through the phone
system and kiosks remains safely in place after the transition to our SCP OTS. We have also
anticipated the need for additional programming services as the need for interfaces and ancillary
services increase over the course of the agreement so, we have included an annual stipend for
programming services so you have a funding mechanism for this very important activity.
Securus has teamed with ShawnTech Communications to provide maintenance and service support
for phones, workstations and associated wiring. We know that the ShawnTech technicians have the
proper security clearances and they know the standard procedures and are familiar with your
facilities. By partnering with ShawnTech, we can maintain the integrity of the existing service
program by retaining the service personnel and their experience. We will also enhance the service
capabilities of ShawnTech by providing new interfaces into our HEAT trouble reporting system that
will automatically notify the technician of a service request and begin the measurement of
performance so we meet and exceed your service requirements.

Our goal is to provide the Missouri Department of Corrections with simply the best offender calling
platform in the business, the best service and the most sophisticated investigative platform in the
industry. Moreover, we will do this by customizing our total solution to your specific needs by
partneringwith the key partners identified above to make certain we address the specific operating
requirements of your department..
We have also been concentrating on providing the industry's best service for family and friends
who receive calls from offenders. In addition to the specific features designed to enhance the
security and safety of your staff and the partnerships created. Securus has added the following
enhancements to our customer service platform:

•

•

Continued our investment in our centralized SCP calling platform by developing new
features such as a new offender managed PAN system that eliminates any use of staff
resources to confirm PANs and uses and IVR to confirm the billed number address ofa
requested number. The automated system also calls requested PAN number owners to
gain acceptance of offender calling before the offender can make calls to that number.

•

Hired and trained over 30 new account managers and account executives to ensure
more face to face time with customers and to better understand our existing and future
client's needs.

•

•

Implemented a new and highly customized IVR sy~tem that allows callers to our
customer service center to find answers quickly and still reach a live operator.

•

Invested over $2M in a Dallas based call center that is staffed by Securus employees
and is available 24 hours per day, 365 days per year with trained and highly motivated
Securus employees.

Redesigned our account coverage to make certain that all customers get local contacts
and much more frequent interaction with our account teams. In fact, we have proposed
a customized account team structure that has been designed to ensure that you have an
experienced, knowledgeable contact any time of the day or night. We understand your
requirement for proactive. creative discussions with key departmental contacts. We
know it is imperative that we meet with you frequently and that you can contact us
anytime to discuss issues, concerns or ideas. The Securus Senior Account Executive will
lead this team and will draw from his past experience with the Missouri Department of
Corrections.

An of these changes, and there are many more, can be compared to what other competitors in the
industry have done and are doing to determine which companies are long term providers. Who
knew five years ago that PCS would be purchased by GTL? Who knew one year ago that Keefe
would purchase ICS7 Could there be more mergers and acquisitions in the near future? Most
certainly! However, Securus knows where it is going and we know we will continue to invest in our
people, our technology and our partnerships. It is for this reason that in the following pages you
will find a proposal that includes a solid centralized offender telephone system calling platform that
is currently utilized in over 63% of our current customer base of over 2,400 clients, processes over
1 million calls per day, and is continually updated at least three times per year. You will also find
that we have proposed a portfolio of services provided by our partners including new and creative

investigative tools, cellular detection capabilities and new call monitoring capabilities that will
offload your investigative staff from listening to nonproductive calls.
Securus has also proposed an account management structure that is designed to ensure that you
have immediate access to key personnel and we are available whenever you need us We also know
that we must be proactive in our communication with MODOC and our partners. You will find that
Securus is committed to the future of our technology and our people. While we may invest in other
companies that can add or address unique customer needs. Securus will continue to invest in
providing innovative technologies for our clients.

Project Overview
The foundation of the Securus proposal is the Securus Secure Call Platform (SCP). This offender
telephone system is a centralized offender calling platform that processes collect, AdvanceConnect
(Friends and Family prepaid), and offender debit calls. The SCP system includes a simple user
interface, called S-Gate that is accessible from any computer with internet access. Moreover, our
proposal includes all the required workstations and network connections required for all
investigative and administrative users at no cost to the state agency.
Offender telephones will be connected by a private AT&T MPLS network that will transport all calls
to the SCP central processing system and on to the terminating called party. Each call will be
recorded and monitored, with the exception of privileged calls. Calls will be immediately available
for monitoring during the conversation or recorded conversations can be listened to at any time
after the call. Investigators will also have the option to barge-in to a live call when necessary.

•
,

The Securus SCP will provide authorized users with easy access to over 450 features that range
from a robust reporting capability that can run reports on offender phone usage, attempted calls to
blocked numbers, multiple calls to a single number, three way can attempts and call forwarding
activity. Users will also be able to set up covert alerts, enable PIN numbers. enroll offenders into
voice biometrics, identify users of the system, run a key word search, burn a call to a CD or set the
phone usage parameters for a specific facility or phones. The system is flexible, easy to use and
easy to understand.
Our system is backed up by multiple call processing centers and the network is continuously
monitored by Securus and AT&T using the latest in network monitoring tools. Our Dallas based
Network Operations Center is staffed 24 hours per day, 365 days per week and continually pings
the network and components to ensure that if there is trouble brewing, we know it before you do
and we take action. Very little eqUipment on site at your facilities makes service less disruptive for
your staff and the equipment we do have on site is easily changed out in the event of a storm or part
failure. In the event of the need for service, Securus has contracted with ShawnTech
Communications to provide onsite maintenance and service.
Our proposal includes a key strategiC partnership with Huber & Associates to provide critical
interfaces to existing banking processes and to provide PIN administration as we]] as assist the
state agency as needed with reports or administrative assistance.

We also have created a partnership with Guarded Exchange
LLC who will provide call center resources and technology that
will not only achieve the State's monitoring goal but will result
in investigators only having to listen to calls that have been
prescreened for targeted activity or actions. We think of it as
delivering only the calls that the investigators should listen to
as opposed to having to listen to aU calls to achieve the 5%
goal. We believe you will find this unique amongst all bidders.
We have also proposed to add additional investigative
resources in Iefferson City, as an option, to help the MO DOC
investigators with follow up on the expected increase in activity
associated with actionable leads coming from the monitoring
and listening to 5% ofthe calls.

Proposal Strategy

•

The Securus strategy in developing our response to this RFP was first to anticipate that the RFP
would be released and to do all we could to understand your existing operating environment by
speaking with people within the state agency prior to its release. We had the unique advantage of
having two key people on our staff whom were directly involved in the last two state agency RFPs
that were release for the offender phone system. As a result, these people were very familiar with
the state agency operating environment and had built relationships with key state agency contacts
who worked with us to provide additional insight and identify key areas where we could offer
assistance. With this experience at hand, we knew that the state agency would be seeking a vendor
that was able to dedicate knowledgeable people to be the key interface with key state agency
contacts. We knew it was not enough just to assign an account manager to the account but instead
dedicate an experienced manager to the account that would be available any time to discuss issues,
identify concerns or to escalate problems.
We also knew that while the state agency needed to choose the best offender calling system for
your operating environment, the winning vendor would have to form strategic partnerships that
would ensure that key interfaces into existing processes and systems would remain and there
would be no disruption when cutting over to a new offender telephone system. As a result, our
strategic partnership with Huber & Associates is critical to our value proposition to the state
agency. However, we also were aware that Huber & Associates had to offer the interfaces to all
vendors. Using our experience from previous state agency RFPs combined with careful
consideration of new technologies, we forged a new and innovative partnership with Huber &
Associates that not only consists of the baseline required interfaces, but also adds additional new
services that only Huber & Associates in concert with Securus can offer.

•

We think of our partnership as a part of a larger mechanism that has its main driver being the state
agency. Each component, or partner, is dependent on the larger component or "cog" but it is the
customer that drives the entire machine. That is, while Securus is the Prime and our commitment
and responsibility is to the State of Missouri Department of Corrections, we understand that Huber
& Associates represents a critical component of the successful operation of the state agency. An

illustration of our proposal strategy as it represents the relationship between Securus. Huber &
Associates, and Missouri Department of Corrections can be seen in the fonowing figure

The Securus Solution Team

Promise: Securus has done their "homework" and understands the importance of the relationship
Huber & Associates has with the Missouri Department of Corrections. As such, we have met with Huber
& Associates to identify existing requirements and to propose new solutions.
Securus has created a team of professionals that understands the importance of keeping the state
agency at the center of our value propOSition. What began as a vendor relationship developed into a
creative partnership through a mutual interest in providing the state agency with an offender
communications and an investigative platform that utilizes existing interfaces and new and creative
solutions that deploy new technologies. The team was put together understanding that your
existing environment is not "broken," but fully capable of taking advantage of new technologies. It
soon became clear that there were natural synergies in play when combining the resources of
Securus with those of Huber & Associates. We discovered that what Huber & Associates can
contribute is a local presence with local knowledge, a suite of existing capabilities and talents and, a
first class facility that could be used to meet more needs of the state agency. Securus on the other
hand, is eager to invest in solutions for the state agency, has a rock solid offender calling platform

and has the experience and talent in the department of corrections market to identifY and spec out
new services that would address "pain points" currently existing within MO DOC.
Once Huber & Associates were able to visit our Dallas offices and meet our executive team and
Securus had the chance to meet with Huber at their Jefferson City location. the opportunities began
to reveal themselves. The two companies worked through the Statement of Work that was provided
by Huber to all vendors on behalf of the state agency. We then worked through the process of
identifying additional innovative solutions where the two companies could champion new solutions
such as providing a funding vehicle for program management services provided by Huber &
Associates, throughout the life of the contract that could be used by the Missouri Department of
Corrections to create interfaces or new software. These new interfaces and software would be
complimentary to providing offender communications or investigative technologies.
As we worked through the process of assessing the specific RFP requirements, identifying the value
adds that each could bring to the table and identifying other partners that could address key
requirement, a more comprehensive partnership picture began to emerge and we identified
creative new solutions for the state agency.

Securus understood that the state agency required a solution that would guarantee that five
percent of all calls were listened to and that technology was deployed to identify actionable calls for
investigators. Prior to the RFP release Securus met with Guarded Exchange as a part of our normal
pre-RFP due diligence and was aware of their technology and plans to deploy a call monitoring
center. What was not obvious at the time was that it would serve the state agency the best if part of
the call monitoring resources and the manager of the group were located in Jefferson City. As a
result of our partnership with Huber & Associates and our mutual commitment to the state agency,
the parties agreed to locate some of the resources at the Huber & Associates facility in Jefferson City
to meet RFP specifications.
Furthermore. Securus recognizes the importance ofpartnering with organizations that meet
specific business criteria such as Women Business Enterprise (WBE), Minority Business Enterprise
(MBE) and Blind and Sheltered Workshop. Securus is fully committed to these opportunities to
partner with these organizations and is fortunate enough to have experience in working with both
Huber & Associates (WBE) and Shawn Tech Communications (MBE). Both organizations contribute
high levels of skiII, experience and value to our proposal. And. we are very pleased to add to our
team Alphapointe that will employ people from a group of Jefferson City area residents that have
over an 85 percent unemployment rate but who will add high value to our value proposition!
Securus has created a teaming approach to ensure that all of the requirements of the RFP have been
met and that we utilize Women Business Enterprise (WBE). Minority Business Enterprise (MBE)
and Blind/Shelten~d WorkshOp partners to help achieve the goals of the state and to strengthen our
response. We have signed Teaming Agreements and Statements of Work for each entity and have
presented the appropriate documentation in our response. Within this partnership. in which
Securus serves as the Prime and the other entities are subcontractors or partners, are the resources
and technologies that are required to exceed the requirements of this RFP. Additionally, this
teaming approach has the benefit of providing economic benefit to the State of Missouri and
creating over 50 new jobs for Missouri residents in and around the Jefferson City area. If fact, we
estimate that with this partnership arrangement Securus will be facilitating over $7.000,000 in new
economic stimulus for the State of Missouri.

Technical Solution
Promise: The Securus SCP will provide the state agency with the best in industry centralized calling
platform including patented three-way calling. patented real time cal/forwarding detection andfully
integrated trust banking and commissary services through Huber & Associates.

The proposed Securus SCP offender telephone system is a
centralized call processing and recording system that provides
the state agency with over 450 features that assist corrections
officers and administrators in recording, monitoring.
investigating and reporting on offenders at all times. The SCP
system, as depicted above, includes an on premise configuration
working in concert with a centralize network platform. The on
premise configuration will consist of offender phones
distributed throughout the facility in locations that provide the
best safety for corrections officers and staff and, at the same
time, promote offender calling. The phones are connected
through a standard two-wire telephone configuration and will
utilize existing facility wiring where available.

TDD and TTY devices will be provided as required and all phones will be connected in the standard
{aciJity phone room to telephone grade wiring blocks. Connections will then be established to
Internet Access Devices (lADs) which will be then connected to a Telco demark point. The
demarcation point will be connected to the Securus private MPLS network where calls will be
transported to our centralized call platform for processing, recording, storage and completion.
The Securus SCP centralized main data center is a carrier-class data center that is not unlike large
Telco offices throughout the country. As a result of this classification, the Secums data center has
Telco grade facility service, which provides unique benefits to our clients. Those benefits include
security, redundancy, diversity, and system backup capabilities not found in other offender calling
platforms. Significantly, the carrier class designation of our datacenter enables Securus to receive
network information and call processing information before, during and after a call that is not
available to most other offender calling platform providers and becomes critical information to
investigators in the form of accurate remote call forwarding and three way calling detection
capabilities.

•

The Securus SCP offender telephone system data center also includes our storage area network
functionality (SAN), access to our user interface (S-Gate), call processing and recording capability
and connectivity to the pubHe switched network for completion of all calls. Our data center also
provides data to and from our back office services such as billing, customer service, and technical
support functions.
The final component to our technical solution is our customer billing function. This Dallas based
business unit is called Secums Correctional Billing Services (SCBS) and is designed to provide the
following billing services:
•

Direct Billing

•

LEe Billing

•

Offender debit

•

Web based billing services

By deploying our own billing services entity Securus can provide the ability to have collect offender
calls billed to the called partie's home phone bill through traditional collect billing when necessary
and bill others with invoicing directly from Secums. This direct invoicing is especially helpful to
attorneys, bail bondsmen, or families that no longer have a local phone line and now use only cell
phones.
Offender debit funding from family and friends is an optional service offering. This would give
family and friends the option to place funds directly into the offender telephone account through
Securus by identifying the offenders ID number. Securus would quickly place the funds directly into
the offenders debit account and make the necessary changes at the facility level.
Family and friends can use our easy access Website for self service purposes. Here, they have
options such as:

•

Identifying payment methods or remaining balance on a pre-paid account

•

Finding out in advance how much a collect call will cost from an offender

The system will operate with little involvement of the state agency staff and instead will become a
resource when administrators need to know who used the phones, when they were used, what was
done with each phone and how many times an individual completed or attempted calls.
Investigators will find the system easily accessible from any remote location through a secure
website so that their investigations are not hampered by having to access a workstation at a facility
and the system will notify them when a specific call or incident is taking place.

Installation and Maintenance
Promise: Securus will install the proposed SCP system within the time/rames provided in the Securus
implementation phm and the system will be installed with offender debit available at time 0/ install.
Installation

The Securus installation plan provided in this response will ensure that the SCP offender telephone
system will be installed within 120 days at all locations. Installation means that the SCP offender
phone system is fuHy operational and that the designated state agency site contact has signed off
that the system is fully operational and that all training has been completed for efficient and
effective use of the system.
The installation will be completed by Securus personnel in concert with ShawnTech and will follow
the proposed implementation and program management plan submitted with the Securus
response. The Securus installation strategy will be to first assess whether or not the existing phone
lines in the facilities are adequate for our phone installations. Careful consideration will be given to
making certain that the noise quality, voice quality. and functionality of the phone line is adequate
for the Securus SCP and selected features (such as PIN verification and three way call detection).
Once it is determined that the phones lines are adequate for the SCP platform, the phone
connections and the associated wiring in the telephone room will be checked for existing or
potential problems. Any issues will be immediately corrected by the Securus installation team.

•

At the same time the phone lines are being checked on site, the Securus centralize calling platform
will be programmed with the specific feature functionality that you have chosen and that provides
the best operating environment for the state agency. Call prompts. network connectivity. call
storage length, phone on-off parameters, PAN lists, global block lists, and all other optional or
variable functionality will be loaded into the platform. All functionality will be checked before
deploying.
Prior to the installation ofthe phone and the programming of the centralized offender calling
system, the private data network will have been configured and put into place. This network will
connect each of your facilities with MPLS private circuits provided (and monitored) by AT&T. AT&T
is our private MPLS network provider for virtually all of our over 1,400 jails and prisons on SCP and
we have built redundant monitoring systems between our two companies to affect continuous
monitoring of the network end to end.

Securus will pay particular attention to engineering each network component to be able to
accommodate the anticipated volume of calling from offenders as well as the need for investigators
to access call recordings from remote locations. Our experience and understanding of your
operating environment has taught us to be very diligent about providing adequate network
in the event that offender calling volumes rise significantly so that investigators will never
bave problems accessing offender call recordings from any Jocation at any time of the day or
night.
.
The implementation plan calls for full installation to be complete within 120 days from start of
project. There are over 1.100 tasks and subtasks already identified in our plan however, none is
more important than the final sign off by the Missouri Department of Corrections. We have
identified the professional project manager that will lead this important installation and we have
assigned an integration manager to focus solely on the important tasks associated with the
integration points between Securus and Huber & Associates, ShawnTech Communications, and
Guarded Exchange LLC.

•

We have included a strategy and tactical actions that are dedicated to working with the incumbent
provider to ensure a smooth and non-compromising transition from your existing platform to the
Securus SCPo Our plan includes elements ofthe activities that our partners will be undertaking to
ensure that we are all on the same timeline and that we can deliver on our promises. We are ready .

how does one look into the future and make the best informed decisiontoday in face of all this
change?
Securus believes that looking back over the course of the last five years helps predict the next five
years. Securus has maintained a focus on the development of our offender calling platform with an
eye towards offering new and innovative features and functionality that are meaningful to our
clients and responsive to the challenging budgetary and operational environment you face every
day. Over the course of the last five years we have introduced:
•

•

Innovative new investigative tools including PIN security biometrics, JLG investigative
voice biometrics, patented three-way calling and real time remote call forwarding
detection, CDR and voice recording records analysis in concert with partners

•

Highly effective integration methods such as web services that guarantees we can
integrate with any vendor at the highest level of technology at no expense to our facility
customers

•

New facility efficiency solutions that include Automated Information Services that
offload our client from having to answer the same questions from the public over and
over again; offender debit that allows family and friends to deposit funds directly into
offenders accounts, Prepaid Calling Card machines and multiple payment options for
family and friends

•

Call completion efficiencies that are guaranteed to increase call completions so
offenders are less frustrated and calls can be completed to cell phones, if approved by
the state agency

•

Services specifically targeted to increasing the safety and protection of facility staff
including covert alert with barge-in and word spotting that identifies key words or
phrases

•

Insulation from technology stagnation by providing upgrades to our calling platform at
least three times per year

•

•

The industry's best centralized offender telephone system that currently processes
over 1 million calls per day and bills 1.3 Billion minutes of use per year from over 1.400
jails and prisons throughout the United States

U.s based customer call center available 24x7x365 and staffed by Securus employees
who are regularly measured based upon their ability to solve problems on the first call

In addition to the above, over the course of the l?st five years Securus has refined our management
teams. This includes at the very top of the organization and we have invested in more customer
facing people to make certain we keep in contact and stay ahead of every issue and opportunity.
So, how does the future look since we have reviewed the past?

•

One ofthe ways to evaluate what Securus will be in the future is to consider the commitment we
have made in our response. Most certainly, we could not make the commitments if we could not
deliver. We have promised to:
