Lower Hudson Regional Information Center Supports Infinite Campus

Oct. 2, 2007 – Arden Hills, Minn. – Infinite Campus and Custom Computer Specialists Inc. (“Custom”) announce that the Southern Westchester BOCES/Lower Hudson Regional Information Center (LHRIC) has signed a partnership agreement to offer the Infinite Campus Student Management System to districts in Westchester, Putnam, and Rockland counties. Districts are eligible to receive local support services and financial aid through BOCES and New York State by purchasing Infinite Campus through the LHRIC.

“We are pleased that LHRIC will offer and support Infinite Campus to their districts,” said Charlie Kratsch, Infinite Campus Founder and CEO. “The districts they serve will join more than 1,100 districts across the country that are using Campus solutions to drive good decisions, leverage resources and meet the educational needs of the future.”

Custom Computer Specialists is a regional Alliance Partner for Infinite Campus and a leading technology solutions provider. “Infinite Campus gives today's educators the tools to make better decisions and provide clear insight to the volumes of data they need to manage,” said Alan Lacher, director for Custom. “Rapid access to student information is critical and state reporting is becoming increasingly complex. This strategic partnership couples the most innovative technology with LHRIC's extensive educational resources. Districts will now be able to receive expert local support while lessening their financial burden.”

“We are pleased to offer our districts another option for managing student information,” said Jim O'Brien, director of LHRIC. “Infinite Campus is a cost-effective and valuable system that will enable districts to manage data and deliver high-quality services to students. Having worked with Custom in the past, we know we can count on them to implement Infinite Campus professionally, with expert support to districts throughout the integration process.”
