Company history

1980 - 1999

Founder and CEO Richard Rediker began the development of Administrator’s Plus, the company's student information system. As a chemistry teacher and class advisor in 1980, he developed an early program on the Commodore PET computer to automatically generate tardy letters. This program eventually became Administrator's Plus.[2]

In 1981, the first license for Administrator's Plus was sold to St. Mary High School in Westfield, Massachusetts. The school still uses the software to this day.[3]

In 1998, the company moved into their office located in the center of Hampden, Massachusetts.

2000 - Present

In 2006, the offices were expanded, including larger training facilities and expanded technical support offices. This same year, Rediker Software introduced the School Office Suite.

In 2007, Administrator’s Plus became a SIF-certified application.[4]

In 2009, Rediker Software introduced Admissions Plus Pro, including online forms and applications, to help private schools with enrollment and recruitment.[5]

For the years of 2008 - 2016, the company has been named by the Affiliated Chambers of Commerce of Greater Springfield to their "Super 60" list of fastest-growing privately held companies in Western Massachusetts.[6][7][8]
