The Follett Destiny® Educator Platform by Follett Software is an integrated suite of mission-critical tools used by two-thirds of all schools in North America. With over 4 million daily log-ins, the platform helps educators reduce costs, gain insights, and connect with students through world-class products like Destiny Library Manager, Destiny Resource Manager, and Aspen Student Information System.

“Our customers want powerful software with user-friendly interfaces and straightforward navigation, and they view us as a trusted and innovative partner,” Porter said. “They have experienced our commitment to the things that matter to them: reliability, ease of use, data privacy and security, world-class support, innovation, and integration with existing infrastructure.”
