Iowa State Penitentiary Selects Stellar Technologies' Stellar Internet GEM(TM) Over SurfControl(R)
The Oldest Maximum Security Penitentiary West of the Mississippi River Chooses Stellar Internet GEM to Manage and Enforce Its Internet Policy
Stellar Technologies, Inc. (OTC BB: SLLR), a
leading provider of employee Internet management and data migration
solutions, announced today the Iowa State Penitentiary selected Stellar
Internet GEM as its Internet management solution of choice. The
organization performed an evaluation of SurfControl and Stellar Internet
GEM prior to moving forward with Stellar to manage its Web surfing and
instant messaging within the penitentiary.
Iowa State Penitentiary is one of two maximum-security prisons in Iowa and
is located at the most south-east region, in Fort Madison. The penitentiary
currently houses 1,067 inmates, including 131 inmates located at 2 remote
facilities. The prison is the oldest maximum-security prison west of the
Mississippi River. In total, 8,708 offenders are distributed across Iowa's
nine facilities with the Fort Madison location accountable for 11.4% of the
state's offenders.
"At our location, we worked with SurfControl for over a year to make their
solution work in our environment. Each attempt was unsuccessful. After much
wasted time, we contacted Stellar Technologies and their superior customer
service and technical support staff gave our organization the immediate
assistance we had hoped for all along," states Linda Bruce, System
Administrator of the Iowa State Penitentiary. "Not only did Stellar visit
our location on several occasions, they made sure Stellar Internet GEM was
up and running before they left our location."
Iowa State Penitentiary required filtering, reporting and search
capabilities for employee Web surfing and instant messaging within their
organization to enforce and monitor its Internet usage policy. Through
Stellar Internet GEM, the penitentiary is able to effectively filter
content from categorized policies as well as through customized additions
to further enhance management of Web surfing and instant messaging by staff
members.
Bruce continued, "Because of our network configuration and remote sites, we
were unable to simply drop a solution onto our network and generate reports
the next day. We needed a company that would walk us through the process
from beginning to end. Stellar Technologies spent time with our IT staff to
ensure a successful installation of their solution, and the results speak
for themselves. We are currently filtering Internet activity with Stellar
Internet GEM, and Stellar has been there for us every step of the way from
assisting us with hardware decisions, helping with installation and
configuration of the product down to running our first management report."
"We are pleased to assist Iowa State Penitentiary with their Internet
management needs as well as having the organization implement Stellar
Internet GEM to enforce their Internet usage policy. Through detailed
attention and dedication to each customer site, we continue to pride
ourselves on delivering unmatched customer service and support alongside
our innovative solutions including Stellar Internet GEM," states Stellar
Technologies VP of Product Management, Eric M. Cole.
