Crocus Contract Highlights
- Transforming Educational Outcomes – Working with organizations ranging from preschool to early literacy, K-12, and into higher education, Crocus focuses on teacher preparation by leveraging data and analytical insights to drive reform initiatives, organizational change, and performance improvement.
- Breaking Down Silos – Because data-driven transformation relies on complete and actionable data, Crocus sets out to help solve this pervasive issue of siloed information among disconnected tools and software in our schools.
- Security Prioritized – Encrypted VPN connections ensures that member data never leaves a member’s server. Crocus develops, tests, and moves to production according to the specs provided by the client, always within the security of a client’s server and firewall.
- Comprehensive & Personalized Solutions – Crocus provides a full suite of consultation services including providing invaluable insights and data-driven decision support for RFPs, data system user adoptions and related work around project management, training and implementation for commercial off-the-shelf products and custom-build solutions, as well as services that provide support around data infrastructure and integration, educational-focused benchmarking, and performance improvement and strategic planning.
