How Can We Improve Your Experience?

• I have multiple systems that are not interfaced



Let me guess. You have others coming to you constantly complaining that the same information has to be entered multiple times. This is a common problem that we hear constantly. The problem begins when one vendor doesn't want to work with another vendor. Before you know it, your job has become the middle man. Sound familiar?

With solutions from Global*Tel Link this won't be a problem. We have our applications interfaced and integrated together. For you, that means that when you enter an offender's name into one system, you won't have to enter it again into another system. We also know how to interface with other vendors. We have interfaced our applications with virtually every player in the market. Whether it's an interface to your commissary provider, your CAD / RMS system, or a state agency, we can handle it. With over twenty-five years in the public safety industry, we have seen it all (we've even interfaced to local newspapers for daily delivery!). Don't just take my word for it though, request a live demo and have one of our knowledge application specialists show you exactly how we can Improve Your Experience!     Close





• My systems are outdated – DOS or Client Server based



Slow, sluggish, outdated, and just barely performs the job that it's supposed to do. That pretty much describes your current jail management system or inmate phone system doesn't it?

What if I told you that you could not only have the newest system features and functionality without breaking the bank? Too good to be true?

It's not! Our solutions are web based. What does that mean for you? Well it means that you can access your system from anywhere. Do you want to work from home today? Not a problem! What if you have a PC that needs swapped out for another? Not an issue either. Just navigate to the system through a safe and secure network connection and you're back in business.

What about those new features that you're always hearing about? Well we have them! All of them! Our systems come, out of the box, with everything but the kitchen sink.

We're not going to charge you extra to use them either! We'll work with you to understand how your facility operates and then show you how to use our solutions to meet your needs. We won't dictate how to do your job.

• My current provider can not service or support my technology needs



30 minute hold times. Ten days until someone actually fixes the problem. Phones broken, inmate family members complaining, and rioting in the cell blocks. Yeah, we've heard the horror stories about other vendors. Isn't it great, when your system is in complete failure, to be told that the earliest someone will be there is two to three business days?

What if there was a company that put you and your problems before all else?

Global*Tel Link strives to constantly Improve Your Experience. That goes for our new customers, old customers, inmates, family members, partners, employees, you get the point. When something goes wrong and you need someone to be there to help you get the issue fixed. We'll be that company. We not only stand behind our technology, but we'll stand shoulder to shoulder with you until all is well and life is back to normal. Have we had some long wait times and extended periods to fix problems. Sure. We admit that we haven't always been perfect, but you won't find a company out there that will stand beside you through the tough times more than we will. We will see the problem through and not leave you hanging. Don't believe me? Request a live demo and have one of our application specialists tell you all about how we will Improve Your Experience!     Close





• No one knows how to use our current system



Let me guess. You have one or two people in your entire facility that actually know how to use the system that you currently use. They were trained when the system was purchased and were instructed to train everyone else. The only problem is, they know how to use it, but not how to teach anyone else how to use it. So now you are left with an expensive system that no one knows how to use.

You're not alone. We see this all the time when we replace an old system with ours. Many times, the system isn't unusable. It simply wasn't designed for the people that will actually use it. Our solutions have been crafted over a twenty-plus year time frame by the users that actually interact with our system everyday. At our annual User Group, our users - people just like you - vote on what changes or additions that they would like to have made to our solutions. This helps us to provide our customers with exactly what they need. They also tell us how it should look and feel. This leaves us with a system that has everything that you need and is easy to use. We also will never leave your facility without your entire staff knowing how to perform their daily tasks and more! If you would like to see what twenty-five years of user input and training looks like, request a live demo with one of our application specialists to learn how we can Improve Your Experience!     Close





• New technology solutions are too expensive for my facility to afford



Systems are breaking down or becoming obsolete and you have no money to buy something new to get all the wheels back on track. Sound familiar?

Affordability is something that companies and customers both struggle with. Technology can be a really expensive upgrade for facilities to afford. Unfortunately, with the economy in a downturn, county funded technology projects are not on the top of the list.

There are options. Global*Tel Link have worked on several creative pricing proposals that may fit your facility's needs. For example, by signing a new inmate phone contract, it may be possible for you to receive other technology solutions as part of your contract for an extremely reduced price (sometimes even cost free to the facility!). For more information on how we can help make technology upgrades affordable for your facility, request a live demo and one of our knowledgeable account executives can walk you through the process. Funding options are available. Request a live demo today to learn how we can Improve Your Experience.     Close

Technology User Product Overview

Jail Management
From intake to release, information on all aspects of an inmate’s incarceration are maintained - including initial intake, charges, sentencing, property, housing, medical, meal planning, scheduling, and temporary release to name a few. For increased security, this system utilizes digital biometrics to positively identify inmates, increasing accuracy in inmate movement, housing, release, etc. Plus, built-in reports interfaces with Business Objects Crystal Reports make accurate reporting easy.

Inmate Phones
Through superior engineering, we have built a system that does so much more than simply permit an inmate to make phone calls. Our system was designed to integrate directly into your existing network, giving anyone with the appropriate authorization the ability to access the application from the comfort of their own office. In fact, our phone systems can be networked together to support a complex of facilities across an entire country. The system can even be accessed through a secure Internet connection, should you choose to do so.

Call IQ®
Call IQ® is a system that uses state-of-the-art speech recognition technology, capable of language models with a vocabulary of over 64,000 street words. This is a system that is designed and built from the ground up specifically for the correctional industry.  Our application is a product that incorporates and addresses the uniqueness of inmate telephony and that adapts to changing linguistic environments.

Accounting
Accounting covers all the processes involved in tracking and maintaining the money flow for the inmates in a facility.

Adult Probation
Digital Solutions Incorporated's Probation & Parole Management System (PPMS) provides complete case management for your county's adult and juvenile probation office or offices. Whether your county maintains separate offices for juveniles or adults or maintains only one office, the Probation & Parole Management System protects your data and the privacy of your offenders.

Call-Track®
A fully automated, low-risk offender reporting service, Call-Track® – a FREE solution for your probation agency – provides automated monthly reporting, reducing the time you spend monitoring low-risk offenders, while providing offenders a simple, affordable way of reporting to you.

OffenderConnect® Kiosk
The OffenderConnect® Kiosk can take cash or credit card deposits from an inmate’s family and friends and place it automatically into either the inmate’s commissary account or an account used for the inmate to place phone calls. The OffenderConnect® Kiosk can be placed in your visitation area, your lobby, or anywhere else that inmates' family and friends will encounter it.

Digital Imaging
Digital Imaging can be used in correctional facilities for the collection of inmate mug shots and for documenting scars, marks, tattoos, and other distinguishing characteristics. Multiple images per view can be captured for chronicling appearance over time.

Juvenile Detention
Managing juvenile offenders requires a unique approach. While many adult offenders are herded through the criminal justice system, corrections officers who work with juveniles know special care can often turn a misguided youth around. Digital Solutions Inc. recognizes that these differences affect the way juvenile cases are managed. To address your unique needs, we've developed Juvenile Detention Center (JDC) for use in juvenile correctional facilities.

CorEMR
CorEMR can save correctional facilities significant time and money and meets an important need to reduce medical costs and dangerous medical errors for correctional facilities.
