Framingham software maker sold to Dallas firm

JLG Technologies of Framingham, which makes software that helps corrections and law enforcement officials, will be acquired by Dallas-based Securus Technologies, a provider of inmate communications service and other law enforcement technologies, the Dallas firm announced. 

While financial terms were not disclosed, Securus CEO, Richard A. Smith said the transaction was a full cash deal.

Prior to the transaction, the two companies had worked together on projects for five years, with JLG founder Jay. L Ginsboro listed on several Securus patents, Securus said.

Smith said little is expected to change in the Framingham site, which employees 15, in light of the acquisition and working relationship.

“JLG is a great fit for what we do,” Smith said. “Our intent is to sell the JLG products that provide additional safety and security features to corrections and law enforcement.”
