Offender Managed Self-Learning PANs
The SCP OTS can also be configured to automate the registration and maintenance process by
allowing a pre-determined number of telephone numbers to be called by an offender and accepted
by the called party. For example. the MO DOC policy could state that the first 15 phone numbers
that an offender called and were accepted will constitute the allowed calling list for that offender.

E-Imports PAN
Additionally, the system allows PANs to be imported through our automated integration
application. "E-Imports." E-Imports enables files to be sent for uploading allowed call lists.

Recording/Monitoring Requirements:

2.9.1

"

The offender telephone system at each institution must record calls from all of the offender
telephones simultaneously.

Securus has read, agrees. and complies.

The Securus SCP OTS provides comprehensive recording and monitoring capabilities for
investigating offender telephone conversations. All offender telephone conversations at each
institution will be recorded simultaneously_ Authorized users have the ability to listen to live
conversations from a Securus provided workstation, which is connected to the Securus provided
private network. Additionally, authorized users have access to call recording from any Windowsbased PC connected to the Internet.
Call Recording
The SCP OTS enables simultaneous recording and monitoring. Each call is recorded in its entirety,
from call acceptan(:e to call termination. Authorized institution personnel have the ability to listen
to prerecorded calls or live calls without any loss of information. All recordings are downloadable
and can be copied to a CD, DVD, or any drive (such as a removable flash drive), and can be e-mailed
to other investigators as directed by the state agency.
Call Detail Record - The Chain of Evidence
All telephone calls placed through the Securus SCP OTS creates a record. known as a call detail
record (CDR). At a minimum, the basic CDR includes the following information:

•

Customer name (Missouri Department of Corrections)

•
•

Facility name
Offender Personal Identification Number (PIN)

•

Originating telephone station

•

Destination number

•

•

Time the call started and ended

Unlike many other offender calling platforms, the audio data and CDR are combined in memory and
written onto a disk as a continuous data stream-one stream for each recorded call. Recordings are
never modified after they are written to disk. As such. recordings safeguard all data required to
identify the call and. cannot be edited. This capability is Significant because it creates a chain of
evidence. The chain of evidence guarantees recordings produced for legal purposes are in fact-the
original data.

2.9.2

"

The offend(:r telephone system at a minimum must provide downloading and playback of calls
from the investigators' office.

•

Securus has read, agrees, and complies.

feature enables authorized personnel to monitor a call, undetected, from any designated location
while the call is in progress.
Investigators configure the feature through S-Gate by completing the,following steps:
1. Assign a "Covert Alert" status to a specific phone, PIN, or phone number.
2. Enter a telephone number (such as cell, home, or office) and e-mail address to indicate
where the call should be forwarded for live monitoring.
Configure a Covert Alert trigger, such as "trigger the alert when call is accepted," or "trigger the
alert when phone number is dialed."

Once activated, the feature allows the call to take place while another muted call is placed to the
Investigator's Covert Alert number. This call is considered another "call leg" and occurs Silently, so
the offender and called party remain unaware the Covert Alert trigger has been activated.
It is possible to retrieve calls anywhere, from within the facility or remotely. Investigators also have
the ability to monitor other calls from an on-site workstation while using the Covert Alert feature.
Covert Alert also sends e-mail notifications to authorized personnel regarding the call under
surveillance. The email provides information including the following:

•

Offender's name

•

Offender's account number

•

Covert Alert Configurations
The Covert Alert f.~ature allows authorized users to alert up to three individuals when a targeted
phone, PIN, or phone number is in use. The configuration options include the following:

•

Requiring an investigator to enter their PIN before the call is connected

•

Enabling the investigator to terminate a call by pressing a programmed code

•

Allowing the investigator to interrupt a conversation in-progress and speak to both the
offender and called party by selecting and confirming a predefined "Barge In" code

As an added security feature, the investigator will be prompted for their PIN when he or she
receives a call from Covert Alert. The investigator's PIN must be entered and accepted before the
call is connected to the investigator. This feature ensures that only the authorized person will
receive Covert Alert calls. When the investigator receives a Covert Alert call, he or she will hear a
message such as the following.

-

'This is a covert alert call from 'John Smith,' an inmate at the Missouri Correctional Institution. To
aCcept this covert alert call, please enter your investigator PIN now. "

nBarge In"

While on the covert alert call, the investigator can terminate the call between the offender and the
called party by pressing a predetermined code. In addition to being able to disconnect the call, the
investigator can also barge into the offender conversation and speak to both the offender and the
called party by pressing a predefined "Barge In" code and confirming that they want to barge in.
The confirmation "Press 1 to confirm" is used to help to eliminate an investigator from accidently
pressing the barge in code with their cheek.
This "Barge In" capability is available through both Covert Alert and on calls forwarded from S-Gate
Live Monitor. When live monitoring a conversation, the call can be forwarded to an investigator cell
phone, office phoD€!, or other designation, allowing them to barge into the conversation using the
predetermined barge in code and acceptance digit.
Covert Alert Call Detail Record Report
The Covert Alert Call Detail Record Report allows authorized users to search for calls in which a
covert alert was triggered. The report provides comprehensive detail regarding the call. The
following figure is an example of the SCP S-Gate Covert Alert Call Detail Record Report.

The offender telephone system must detect an attempt made by the called party to attempt a
three (3)-way or conference call at any time during the call and immediately following the
connection of the call, regardless of where the called party is located. If detected, the offender
telephone system must terminate the call before connection to the called party, or if during the
call, as soon as the transfer or conference is detected. The state agency will determine whether
they will utilize the offender telephone system's capability to terminate three (3)-way or
conference calls.

Securus has read, agrees. and complies.

The Securus SCP OTS will detect attempts made by the called party to attempt a three-way or
conference call at any time during the call and immediately following the connection of the call,
regardless of where the called party is located. When detected, the Securus SCP OTS will terminate
the call before connection to the called party or as soon as the transfer or detection 1S detected. The

When using the Securus three-way call detection technology from Securus, the state agency will be
receiving the best and most sophisticated three-way calling technology in the market today.
How it Works
The SCP OTS will detect, in real time, the called party's attempt to access three-way or conference
calling within the same central office following the connection of the call between the offender anI;!
the called party, regardless of whether the called party has first accepted the call.

When a three-way event is noted, the Securus SCP OTS will perform one of the following actions.
which is based on the state agency's criteria):
•

Disconnect the call instantaneously with messaging to offender and called party

•

Mark the call with no interruption to the call

•

Warn the 0 ffender that third-party calls are not allowed

This feature prohibits the major fraud practice possible with other automated and live-operator
systems. Offenders could enlist the aid of an outside accomplice to "conference" them. via the
central office-provided three-way calling. to an "unrestricted" line, bypassing the system controls.
Without this protection, offenders have in effect. unrestricted access to the outside world, defeating
the correctional objectives and policies of the institution along with subjecting the public to
offender harassment and fraud.

•.

The SCP ors is unique in its ability to detect and foil an accomplice's attempt to activate the threeway call feature by immediately disconnecting the call upon detection. Secums' SCP has the unique
ability to disable three-way call detection on a particular number or groups of numbers, such as
attorneys.
Securus' patented method of preventing three-way call detection is centered on our sophisticated
ability to identify a specific "click" and associated events. The "click" event is easily discernable
from any sound that is created through normal speech. The specific sound characteristics that
distinguish a hook nash is a very short burst of sub 300Hz energy followed by a very abrupt cutting
of the signal source. Any sound created by a human voice box that has a great deal of sub 300Hz
energy will have a sound "tail" associated with it. This is generally conclusive evidence that the
sound was created by something other than a hook flash. So, the three-way detection algorithm
looks for an impulse of sub 300Hz that was not obviously caused by a human voice.
Three-way call detection is active from the moment the called party has the ability to answer the
call and prior to call acceptance. Upon detection of a three-way call, the call will be disconnected
immediately. should that option be selected by the facility.
The SCP OTS provides the ability to search call detail records search for attempted three-way calls.
The following figure provides an example of the user interface, which indicates the three-way
calling search criteria and search results.

Securus Three-Way Prevention System Patents

Securus' three-way prevention system has been awarded several patents and is one of the best
three-way detection systems in the world. With the release of the SCP's new digitally clean line
transmission; our three-way prevention system has increased its capabilities to efficiencies never
before achieved.
Securus' patented three-way call detection feature has been proven and certified in independent
tests, such as the SIDBRIDGE study. Securus commissioned SIDBRIDGE Consulting to the accuracy
of our three-way detection technology. The SIDBfDGE study collected and audited call recordings
and event logs for approximately 6,000 calls. This independent test revealed our overall success
rate to be in the mid to high 90s; most significantly, the system accurately detected and prevented
illegal three-way call attempts,

Securus has n~ad. agrees, and complies.

•

Securus will have the necessary OTS software capability and will install the necessary wiring and
associated kill switches for immediate and selective shutdown of telephones at the following
locations:
•

At the demarcation location, which will shutdown all telephones in the
institution - The ors will be configured with manual kill switches at the demarcation
location at each institution that are capable of shutting down all telephones in the .
institution.

•

At the (!entral control center, which will shutdown select or aU telephones in the
institultion - The OTS will be configured with manual kill switches at the central
control centers that are capable of shutting down select or all telephones or any
individual phone.

•

At the select housing units, which will shutdown individual or all telephones at
select housing units - The OTS will be configured with manual kill switches at select
• housing units that are capable of shutting down select or all telephones in the housing
unit.

•

•

Through the software provided for accessing offender telephone calls - The SCP
ors provides complete flexibility in disabling telephone use at any time of day through
manual intervention or preset calling schedules. A "Remote Kill Switch" function is
provided through the S-Gate interface. Any individual phone via the S-Gate user
interface will be configured to allow authorized users the ability to shut down access to
telephones.

Remote Kill Switch
The Remote Kill Switch function allows authorized users that have highly secure credentials to
immediately disable a call in progress, a specific telephone, group of telephones, or entire facility,
using any PC with access to the Internet. Securus is one of the only providers to offer this capability
to authorized users, anytime, from anywhere, 24x7. This is a major timesaving convenience for all
participating users. This function allows authorized users to either kill the call immediately or allow
the current call to finish while not allowing any more calls.

If the facility needs predetermined schedules to shut off the phones during certain times of the day
or night, automated calling schedules can also be assigned. Automated calling schedules relieve
the facility staff from manually performing this task on a daily basis.

Securus has read, agrees, and complies.

The offender telephone system will be configured to provide a dial tone to all offender telephones
at the same time. As a security feature, the offender is never presented with true "dial tone" from
the LEe central office/public switched telephone network, but is instantly given voice prompts once
a telephone handset is in an off-hook condition.

Securus will install maximum bandwidth at each facility to support a no blocking environment.

Current usage statistics included with this RFP show that offender call concurrency is consistently
less than the total number of phones installed. Securus would like to discuss our engineering
methodology and call concurrency experiences in an effort to optimize bandwidth requirements.
With our central processing system and its network capacity, Securus can scale to many times our
current capacity within the current architecture and design.

The offender telephone system must process calls on a selective bilingual basis that allows the
offender to select the preferred language utilizing a code on the keypad (i.e. "I" for English and
"2" Spanish).
.

Securus has read, agrees, and complies.

The SCP OTS processes calls on a selective bilingual basis that allows the offender to select the
preferred language using a code on the keypad. The default setup provides message prompts in
both English and Spanish. Additionally, the system can be configured to enable custom language
prompts in several other languages, such as Navajo, Portuguese, Vietnamese, Polish, and Russian.

•

The SCP's automated operator uses clear and concise, professionally recorded voice prompts to
assist the offender throughout the calling process. During call acceptance, the called party receives
concise voice prompt instructions, based on your security requirements and configuration of the
SCPo For example, the SCP OTS can be configured to do the following by using a code on the keypad:
•

Allow the called party to receive a voice prompt in the language selected by the
offender

•

Allow the called party to receive a voice prompt in English first, and then in the
language selected by the offender.

To further assist in the call process, Securus provides durable printed dialing instructions at each
offender telephone location in English, Spanish, and other languages as requested. As a security
measure, Securus uses materials and techniques appropriate for the correctional environment that
explain the process in a clearly defined and easy to read manner.

The offender telephone system must include a fraud prevention feature that shall randomly
intetject pre-recorded announcements to the called party throughout the duration of the
conversation indicating the source of the call. The fraud prevention shall not allow the offender
to interfere with these announcements.

Securus has rE!ad, agrees, and complies.

The SCP OTS includes a fraud prevention feature that interjects random announcements (Voice
Overlay) during each call to the called party throughout the duration conversation indicating the
source of the call.
The state agency has the option of configuring the overlay message to play at one-minute
increments, or any random setting. An example of a voice overlay message is, "This call is from a
Missouri Correctional Institution." The offender is unable to interfere with the announcements.

2.12.7

"

The TDDs provided with the offender telephone system must be compatible with the standard
telephone devices provided with the offender telephone system.

•

Securus has read, agrees, and complies.

The TDDs provided with the SCP OTS are compatible with the standard telephone devices provided
with the OTS. Additionally, Securus will provide accommodations necessary to comply with the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Securus' program for offenders who are deaf or hearing
impaired provides those offenders the ability to place outgoing telephone'calls using a TTY (Text
Telephone) device that is integrated with the OTS.
The technology that will be provided uses dedicated ports on the SCP system and eliminates the
need for a correctional officer or a staff member to initiate the call process. Integrating the TTY calls
through the OTS allows for various policy and security measures that the facility can specify, such
as time limits, call recording. remotely printing the content of the calls, and prevent redialing.
Offender Call Using TTY Phone Calling Another TTY (TTY to TTY)
When a hearing impaired offender places a call utilizing a TTY phone to a friend or family member
utilizing a TTY phone, the same call restrictions associated with other OTS caUs will app1y. CoUect
or pre-paid charges to the called party will be rated and billed by Securus. Offenders can also place
debit calls.

device, which dials out through the SCP to the state's Telecommunication Relay Center (TRS). The
information will include the offender's PIN along with a preset toll-free number that dials directly
to the TRS operator. With TRS, a special operator communicates back to the offender to confirm the
connection and begins the call connection process to the called party. Collect call charges to the

2.12.13 It is highly desirable for the offender telephone system to allow the state agency to set a period
oftime in which any calls to a specified telephone number are indefinitely blocked from
playback by users, however, still recorded to the server. The record of the call should still show
in the call detail report, however, block the user from playing back the call. Access to the
recording must be made available to the state agency upon request to the contractor.

2.12.17 The offender telephone system must have a feature activation code (i.e. #95) to allow an
offender to place an anonymous call to a predetermined location. The same feature activation
code must be used at all institutions.

If

Securus has read, agrees, and complies.

The SCP OTS has a feature for offenders to place anonymous calls to a predetermined location. The
feature is configured with an activation code, such as #95, which will be configured for use at all
institutions. The service is en~bled using the SCP Crime Tip or Informant Line feature.

Crime Tip
Securus' Crime Tip feature is an offender crime-reporting tool that provides offenders with a secure
way to prOvide crime tips and/or leave contact information for follow-up, if they desire. The SCP
system anonymously records all messages left on the Crime Tip Hotline, allowing offenders to
provide crucial information without being exposed as an informant.
For example, offenders can choose to report information pertaining to possible criminal activity,
including narcotics, cell phone smuggling, or other fraudulent activities. Common tips include the
following

•

•

A crime that has already taken place

•
•

A threat to their safety
Anything that they feel necessary to report to the investigative staff

The offender's identity remains anonymous, or the offender may leave a name so the facility can
reward the offender for information leading to the successful prevention of a crime, or the
apprehension of any individual caught in the act of committing a reported crime.
The Securus Crime Tip feature includes the following:
•

A pre-arranged telephone number (deSignated by the facility), provided to all offenders

•

An option to listen to all or selected recorded messages

•

An option to burn specific information onto CDs for use as evidence

•

A way to generate reports of all recorded messages with the date and time of the
message

•

A way to leave an anonymous reply message to the offender

Informant Line
The Informant Line provides investigators the ability to set up any phone, voice mailbox, or
answering machine to be called by offender "informants" without any indication in the call detail
reports, global lists, or to other offenders. It is a completely anonymous call and all information may
be hidden from normal investigator views .

1. Investigator navigates to CDR report in S-Gate
2. Investigator searches by the call type "Informant Line" within the speCific time frame
3. Investigator retrieves results
4. Investigator can playback calls if authorized but CANNOT play back calls that have been set
up as Private
5. Investigator can ONLY see "unlisted" if the option was chosen during set up for the phone
number
6. Station IDjPort Location is hidden if selected to be hidden during set up
7. The Offender ID or PIN is NOT shown on the CDR report
8. Investigator with CDR view access cannot view the set up in the Global List

2.12.18 It is highly desirable for the offender telephone system to be capable of emailing the call
recording and detail from the workstation.

Securus will comply with this highly desirable specification. The SCP OTS provides the capability to
e-mail call recordings and details from the workstations. Recordings can be downloaded from the
system in various formats and copied to a CD, DVD, or any drive (such as a removable flash drive)
available to the user in widely accepted formats for portability and may be e-mailed as well.

2.12.19 The offendt:r telephone system must be capable of limiting the duration of offender calls (e.g.
regular phone calls - fifteen (15) minutes; TDD phone calls - thirty (30) minutes). Upon
disconnection of a call, the offender telephone system must be capable of disabling the offeror's
PIN from use for a specified period of time (e.g. thirty (30) minutes). The offender telephone
system must also be capable of overriding state agency established phone call limits for
approved offender phone calls with attorneys.

telephone privileges to one or more offenders without affecting other offenders who share the
same offender telephones.
The length of time for PIN denial is entered and automatically policed, enforced, and released by the
system. The system will automatically reset the PIN to allow calls on the day requested, with
no manual intervention required. This feature allows offenders, if necessary, to make privileged
calls even while on suspension from other calls. Direct manual control of this suspension feature is

Implementation Plan:
The contractor shall provide the state agency communication manager an implementation plan
within forty-five (45) days after award of the contract. The plan should be coordinated with the
current service provider to ensure minimized disruption in service. The contractor shan complete
the described work within one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days after receipt of the state
agency's written approval of the plan.

Securus has read, agrees, and complies.

Securus wi1l provide our implementation plan to the state agency communication manager for
acceptance within 45 days after contract award. Securus will coordinate our SCP OTS
implementation with the current service providers to ensure minimal disruption of service.
Securus proposes an installation schedule that will ensure all SCP 01S services will be completed in
less than 120 calendar days after receipt ofthe state agency's written approval of the plan. Our
implementation will result in minimal disruption during the installation, which will include adding
phones where required, administrative work stations, a fully digital calling network, and full
monitoring and recording of all calls except privileged
calls.

Regional Approach
Securus developed a regional approach to completing
our SCP OTS installation in less than 120 days. Our
expert Field Services Team, led by the Regional Field
Services Managers al1d Field Services Specialists, will
be deployed based oJ'! a regional alignment with the
state agency locations.
Each Regional Team will follow the same stringent
schedule and quality control processes and will report
all progress up stream to the Project Management
team.

Securus Partnership
Our proposal includes a key strategic partnership with Huber & Associates to provide critical
interfaces to existing banking processes and to provide PIN administration as well as assist the
state agency as needed with reports or administrative assistance.
Securus has also teamed with ShawnTech Communications, Inc. to
provide installation, maintenance and service support for phones,
workstations and associated wiring. 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 that we meet and exceed your service
req uirements.
We also have created a partnership with Guarded Exchange LLC who wiU provide call center
resources and technology that wj)J 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 all calls to achieve the five percent goal. The final implementation plan will
include a coordinated effort between the state agency, Securus and Guarded Exchange.

Preliminary Implementation Plan

•

The success of installing and implementing the state agency's SCP DTS is dependent on adequate
planning and the capabilities and experience of the implementation team. Securus' implementation
process is the result of using proven methods and procedures that have been designed, tested, and
executed to successfully install thousands of offender phone systems throughout the United States.
Securus has installed than 4,500 offender calling platforms across the United States. Securus
currently has more than 1.400 jails and prisons on the SCP platform and each one was installed by
the Securus implementation team. Securus is currently recording more than one million calls per
day on the offender calling platforms that we have installed.
Securus will use an experienced team guided by a comprehensive implementation plan that will be
communicated and approved in advance by the state agency. We believe our experience, knowledge
of your current operating environment, familiarity with your current offender phone provider's
system and commitment to exceptional quality will create a smooth and effective installation of our
industry~leading platform.
The installation team will follow the state agency approved final plan, and will make sure that each
step and activity is completed with quality to ensure we have a successful implementation. We will
assign a dedicatE~d, experienced project manager to lead the installation and he or she will be in
contact with your staff on a planned and scheduled basis, to ensure effective and timely
communication. Only specially trained and certified technicians are used to install your system.

A description of each phase of our methodology is provided as follows.

Initiation Phase
Initiation

Phase

Immediately following contract award, the Securus Project Management Team
will host a meeting with the state agency to review project scope, critical
success factors, and the implementation timeJine. Securus will confirm and
demonstrate how we plan to meet the installation timelines required by the
state agency in this initial meeting.

Site survey information and planned activity will be discussed to ensure our project information is
based on the latest physical characteristics of each location. Based on information collected during
our RFP analysis and site surveys, a portion of the procurement plan wil1 be executed to ensure
timely delivery of eqUipment and network services.

•

Integration
During the Initiation Phase, the file formats and transfer protocols provided by Huber & Associates
during propos(ll development are verified with those existing in the current state agency
environment. If necessary, adjustments are made jointly between Securus and Huber & Associates
and documented in preparation for the Planning Phase .

Prepaid Collect Call Accounts Transition to SCP
To make certain that existing prepaid account friends and family members will continue to be able
to fund their telephone accounts, Securus will proactively contact each existing account holder to
attempt to open a prepaid account with Securus.
Those friends or family members that currently hold prepaid accounts with your current provider
will be asked to set up a Securus AdvanceConnect™ account.
Upon approval from the state agency, Securus will use an auto dialer feature to contact friends and
families of the offenders incarcerated at state agency facilities. This activity is completed before
physical installation activities begin, so the friends and families have ample time to set up an
account with Securus, and at the same time reduce the balances they have in their current
provider's prepaid account or receive refunds from the current provider. Securus will abide by the
"no call list" regulations and may have to contact these set of customers immediately following
installation.
We will use the notification process identified above to make friends and family members aware
that Securus wil1 be the new offender telephone service provider for the state agency on a specified
date. Upon receiving this notification, current prepaid account holders will be able to select the
following options:
•

Setup an AdvanceConnectTM account with Securus

•

Leave a voice message in to request a return call from Securus

•

Listen to a message that will identify the call back number so the called party can contact
Securus

•

This feature has a proven record of success during transitions to Securus with no interruption in
the ability of friends and families to receive phones calls.

Planning Phase
Planning

Phase

During the Project Planning Phase, the Securus Project Implementation Team
will confirm and coordinate material and human resources required for the
project. Travel, facility access, deliveries, and customer training will be
coordinated with the state agency personnel during this phase.

Securus will work directly with all network providers to coordinate the
installation of network services and equipment required for the project. Securus will coordinate all
activities and timelines with the state agency. Securus will request a single point of contact from the
state agency to coordinate and communicate all actions and issues during the installation.
Additionally, the project management plan will be finalized during this phase. The project
management plan will include the following information:

Integration

•

During the Planning Phase, Securus and Huber & Associates will work jointly to design the me
transport criteria between systems. Specific file conversions, encryption requirements, and timing
of transfers will be identified and documented. Additionally, how files will be transmitted and any
customized integration code will be identified and included in the integration design plan. Baseline
files are created for testing in the Execution Phase.

EXecution Phase

EXecution
Phase

During Project Execution, Securus Technicians will travel to each location and
complete pre-installation activities in preparation for the OTS cutover. The
pre-JnstaIJation activities include pre-wiring, hardware staging, and telecom
test and turn-up activities, which can be completed in advance to reduce the
amount of time and complexity of the cutover.

The Securus Project Management Team will coordinate cutover activities with the state agency and
the current services provider to ensure a seamless transition of phone service takes place.
Transition of service can also be coordinated for after hours or during inmate lockdown to limit
service interruptions. If a service interruption is required, the activity will be coordinated with the
state agency at least five business days in advance of the scheduled activity and schedules can be
adjusted to meet the needs of the state agency.
During the cutover, the Securus team will perform a thorough inspection of the installation and will
resolve any potential issues prior to finalizing the implementation. The technicians compJeting the
installation activity will perform a walk-through with state agency representatives to review all
installation documentation and checklists. The Securus Project Management Team will host a
Customer Acceptance Review Meeting with the state agency before finalizing the cutover at each
facility.

•

On-site training seminars as well as Web-based training activities will occur during this phase of
the project.

Preliminary Installation Schedule
Our preliminary installation schedule will provide additional information about the work packages
and sequence of events that will occur during the Execution Phase. After award and during the
project PJanning Phase, the Securus Project Team wHJ work cJoseJy wUh the state agency to make
sure our plan is 100 percent complete and fully accepted by the state agency prior to moving
forward with any Project Execution activity.
Weekly Stakeholder meetings and Project Team "Touch Point" meetings will occur as part of Project
Execution. These meetings will allow both Securus and the state agency to closely evaluate project
activities and provide bi-directional feedback regarding project performance.

Integration
During the Execution Phase, the integration design documented is implemented. All standard and
customized tools are tested using the baseline files captured in the Planning Phase.
Securus will work closely with our partners to implement and fully test the necessary data
interfaces to ensure they are fully functional and production ready prior to the OTS transfer. Tests
are run in a parallel test production environment to simulate'the required transfer volumes and
timing.
One to one comparisons are completed between files sent and files received. Any discrepancies are
noted and if necessary modifications are completed to the integration toors and the tests are reexecuted to receive 100 percent accurate results.

•

Once testing is complete, file transfers are moved to the production SCP ors environment

Monitoring and Control Phase

ensure that there are no outstanding actions or deliverables, and will work
with the state agency to review the fun implementation project and obtain
customer acceptance.

Securus will transition support responsibilities to the Securus Account
Management Team for long-term ongoing account support. The Project [mplementation Team will
complete all internal updates and project closure activities.

Quality Management Plan

•

The installation schedule includes quality control checkpoints at important stages throughout the
project. The quality control checkpoints are essential elements of the Securus project that ensure
consistent high-quality installations. Securus uses a quality measurement technique, which
identifies and removes the causes of errors, and minimizes variability in the installation process.
Each installation project follows a defined sequence of steps with quantifiable targets. These targets
can be financial or any other area that is critical to our customers .
Quality Control Checkpoint 1: Provisioning

Prior to anyon-site installation activity, Securus technicians provision the Securus SCPo The SCP
provisioning activity prepares our system to support the state agency offender calling traffic, and
ensures that all of the necessary applications and calling features are configured. After the customer
provisioning is complete, the Securus technicians submits a quality control review form to the
Engineer, Project Manager, and Account Manager for the state agency project. Each of these Securus
associates must review the customer provisioning "pre-cut" record, and provide verification and
approval.
PI ease refer to .,Appendix D: Provisioning Checklist," for an example of this quality control tooL
Quality Control Checkpoint 2: Pre-Installation

While on-site, Securus Field Service Technicians complete a check1ist to ensure that the physical
installation characteristics meet or exceed Securus standards. EqUipment inventory, equipment
location, electrical, network and telecom, and telephone installation standards are reviewed during
this checkpoint.
Please refer to "Appendix E: Field Technician Checklist," for an example of this quality control tool.
Quality Control Checkpoint 3: Equipment Testing/Functional Validation

•

At this stage of the project. the SCP is online and test calls can be performed. This quality control
checkpoint ensures that all SCP calling options are setup to meet the requirements of the state
agency. Test call scenarios are completed and phone labels. call durations, on!offtimes.
administrative terminals. and other customer configurations are verified .
