Tusa’s Innovative Offender Services Platform at ACA Congress of Correction

ACA, 7-9 Aug 2011, Booth # 1121 – Tusa, the leading provider of innovative corrections technology will demonstrate the Secure Offender Services Platform at the ACA 141st Congress of Correction, Kissimmee, FL.

The Offender Services Platform is a new concept in the industry that enables correctional agencies to greatly expand the services available through their offender kiosks or PCs while simultaneously increasing security, accountability and efficiency.

It provides a single secure platform for correctional agencies to deliver any offender application or service through their kiosk or PC network. This easy to use interface allows agencies to provide a number of services including commissary ordering, e-messaging, electronic requests and grievances, view facility information, search frequently asked questions, view personal information, check account balance, view their schedule and much more.

The Platform also enables correctional agency staff to manage the administration of the system through a single interface. Functionality includes manage users, applications, locations, kiosks, settings and reporting.

The benefits of the Platform include;
• Security and Safety: Offenders do not have access to the internet. Only authorized staff and offenders can access the secure offender network.
• Efficiency and Time Savings: Improves administrative efficiency and increases workload capacity.
• Automation of Facility Functions: Streamlines processes to reduce work duplication, and ensure that staff resources are managed cost effectively.
• Full Audit Trail: Records all actions and transactions carried out by staff and offenders, and a full audit trail is stored.
• Systems Integration: Ease of integration with existing and new systems and services to avoid information duplication.
• Single logon: Offenders only have one log on to access all the services and applications being offered. The Offender Services Platform handles the entire authentication and passes the information to the other applications.
• No Vendor Lock In: With the open platform the correctional agency can choose the ‘best of breed’ offender applications and services. When there is a change of vendor the navigation on the Offender Services Platform remains the same.
• Future Proofed Technology: Choosing Tusa’s Offender Services Platform means an investment in a system that will grow and evolve to meet your ever changing needs.
