Mohawk Regional Information Center

What Mohawk Regional Information Center does

Mohawk Regional Information Center (MORIC) is one of 12 Regional Information Centers in New York State and operates as a division of Madison-Oneida BOCES under a statutory mandate from New York State Education Law 1950(4)(c) and Part 115.1. The organization provides shared technology services, data management, instructional technology integration, and administrative systems support to 4 BOCES and 49 member school districts across the Mohawk Valley region. Its service portfolio spans 22 service areas and 49 products, organized around four focus areas: Technology Leadership, Instructional Leadership, Data Leadership, and Data Security & Privacy.

Core products include the Model Schools Program (workshops, webinars, in-district training, and virtual assistance for instructional technology integration), Administrative Systems Support (student information systems, cafeteria management, emergency broadcast, visitor management, financial systems, special education systems), Data Services (data coaching, analysis, management, reporting, and NYS Data Warehouse support), and Data Privacy & Security (Education Law 2-D and FERPA-aligned tools, RICOne Inventory, Data Protection Officer Services). The underlying analytics platform is IBM Cognos (upgraded from v11 to v12 in 2024), with a dashboard product family (Regional Student Data Dashboard, ESSA Data Dashboard, Grading for Equity Dashboard, CRDC Data Dashboard) unified through a Data Launch Pad. Supporting infrastructure includes help desk, Bomgar remote support, EDR/antivirus, email security, and filtering services.

MORIC is funded through cooperative BOCES service agreements with member districts and cross-contract billing for optional expenses such as Model Schools stipend reimbursements; pricing is not publicly disclosed. As a public educational consortium rather than a commercial enterprise, MORIC has no shareholders, no venture funding, and no traditional ownership structure. The organization participates in the statewide RICOne initiative alongside the other 11 NYS Regional Information Centers, collaborates with NYSCATE, NYSED, and the NYS Chief Privacy Officer, and in 2026 added the New York Power Authority as a partner for its eSTEAM Girls Camp.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• PowerSchool: Largest commercial K-12 SIS vendor in North America. While MORIC uses Schooltool and provides regional data services, PowerSchool represents the dominant proprietary alternative for student information systems and analytics in K-12.
• Infinite Campus: Major commercial K-12 SIS platform competing for district-level student information system contracts. Comparable to MORIC's administrative systems support scope from a software product standpoint, though delivered as vendor software rather than cooperative service.

Others

• RIC One (NYS RIC Consortium): Statewide collaboration framework of all 12 NY Regional Information Centers including MORIC. Not a competitor but the shared governance and standards body through which MORIC coordinates statewide RIC initiatives.

Emerging players

• Frontline Education: K-12 EdTech vendor providing human capital management, student health, and special education case management. Overlaps with MORIC's educator management and special education systems offerings at the district software layer.
