The Finance Department at the Lower Hudson Regional Information Center supports school districts with services built around Finance Management software, HR and Compliance, disaster recovery, as well as facilities management tools (Services fall primarily within CoSer 611). Our SOC2-audited facility provides secure connections to the most sensitive District data. We offer workshops and user groups to extend your knowledge of the tools we support and gives us a chance to gather and share best practices with consortium partners.

Procurement is also a part of Finance, but due to the intricacies of e-Rates and ordering processes, the services has its own webpage (Visit the Procurement page >). 

The LHRIC supports Finance Manager’s nVision software, which provides business offices with the ability to manage financial, human resources and other business operations. The LHRIC service provides initial and ongoing training, workshops, user groups, telephone and, when applicable, on-site support. LHRIC provides a dedicated financial help desk, and facilitates meetings with TRS, ERS and the IRS.

The software can be hosted at the LHRIC or at the district's Windows Server.  Finance Manager provides payroll, human resources, negotiations, budget projections, remote requisitioning, purchasing, accounts payables and receivables, bidding, general ledger, time management, GASB34 reporting modules, report writing capabilities and interface with Excel. Finance Manager allows for software interfaces to Omni and Frontline’s attendance product (formerly known as AESOP). The TimePiece module allows you to choose from a variety of methods to capture time and also interfaces with the payroll module. A web-based employee self-service portal is also available.
