DALLAS, Jan. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Securus Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of inmate communications services, today announced it has completed the transformation of its call center operations.  The Company's strategic decision to move away from outsourcing call center functions offshore and creating a 225 seat in-sourced call center, located in Texas, has significantly improved customer service levels.  Securus now believes it has the largest and best equipped 24x7 call center in the industry.

Securus invested more than $2 million dollars implementing the latest call center equipment, applications, and training necessary to provide fast response times and one-call resolution to its customers.  These investments allow the company to operate the largest and most advanced call center dedicated to serving the needs of friends and family members of inmates in the country.  With the transition now complete, Securus reports not only better customer satisfaction levels, but also an increase in the number of prepaid calling accounts being established for inmate communications.

"This transition has been a journey," said Danny de Hoyos, Vice President of Securus Service and Technical Operations.  "With our staffing complete, state-of-the-art technology installed, and new training taking place, we're seeing significant improvements in the overall customer experience -shorter hold times, quicker first call resolution, and significant improvements in customer satisfaction have all been made possible by our taking on this initiative." He continued, "The investments we've made have clearly impacted our customers in positive and meaningful ways."
