Crocus, Llc

Crocus is a Latina-owned technology firm that formed in January 2021 as a spin-off from UPD Consulting. Education organizations turn to us to leverage data to support social initiatives. Crocus builds resilient capacity in organizations to grow and respond to change as they strive to use data to embed equity into decision making and to maintain continuity of learning. We have an extensive record in enterprise data integration and systems management initiatives; we are recognized for our innovations in data management with educator preparation programs. Crocus is deeply committed to diversity, equity, and social justice with a particular interest in creating opportunities for girls and young women to succeed in STEM careers. We presently support K-12, State, and higher education clients, advocate for implementing open data standards, such as Ed-Fi, IMS Global, and CEDS, and actively lead collaboration across the education interoperability movement.
