The Making of Destiny
A new posting from Rebecca Levinson (Online Marketing Manager, Follett Software company)

It takes a community to build a software upgrade that matters
At Follett we are lucky to have such a community of loyal Destiny users. While we create training materials and are consistently devoted to service of our customer’s needs when it comes to their Destiny products, we realize this great community also interacts and gives advice to each other on our listserves, their blogs, and social media.

It’s this community interaction that we think about when it comes to developing enhancements for our Destiny products. Destiny 10.0 is a great example of our commitment to incorporating enhancement requests from our Destiny community with the vision and goals of our internal product development strategy. We discussed plans for this release with many of you at our first New Leaf in Learning Conference this past March, and were happy to deliver on our promise to improve your Destiny in many new ways.

We appreciate the constant ongoing changes in education and technology. We are listening, and our goal is to continue to provide a relevant and easy-to-use solution for supporting our Destiny users’ goals. We appreciate your product input – and welcome you to continue to communicate with us on your needs in your way. Whether you submit a direct product enhancement request, call us, comment on our blogs, tweet or post a comment on Facebook we want to let you know that we are listening .

Destiny 10.0 refinements focused on mobile
Since the launch of Destiny 10.0 we have been busy enhancing the Destiny Quest mobile app to make it available for IPhones, Android phones, IPads and Android tablets. With the trends toward mobile technology and abundance of eBooks and social media communication, we want to ensure that you have the tools to support your students in the ways they learn and communicate the most.

We received many inquiries from librarians to help you support the mobile app in your libraries following the release of Destiny 10.0. We now have a wealth of tools including two YouTube videos, tent cards, color and black and white posters, produced for both domestic and international distribution. Please check out these Destiny Quest mobile app promotional tools and help your library go mobile.

Let’s keep talking and working together
As your partner in education, we will continue to bring you the Destiny solution improvements that you want to see. We know you are looking for additional enhancements to Destiny and we will be delivering more exciting changes this year.

We look forward to seeing you at our educational technology conference, New Leaf in Learning, on March 21-23, 2012 and listening to your feedback and ideas about our Destiny line of products. There are plenty of opportunities at this event to discuss Destiny with a group of like-minded professionals from Pre-Conference training sessions to Birds of a Feather networking groups Friday March 23rd at the New Leaf in Learning Conference during breakfast, as well as impromptu conversations before, after and in-between sessions.

Thank you for your continued patronage and community support.

Sincerely,

Don Rokusek

Program Director- Destiny
