Administrators can now make fact-based decisions with real-time evidence.
MCHENRY, IL – Designed to provide customers with real-time insights into how their educational resources are being managed, Follett today announced it is offering Follett Destiny® Analytics, a district-wide subscription solution to complement its market-leading Follett Destiny® Library Manager and Follett Destiny® Resource Manager platforms.
The multi-featured reporting solution will allow administrators and educators to explore data from both platforms, including student patron records, and to discover trends and exceptions that are displayed into easy-to-understand graphs and charts.
“Destiny Analytics will turn data into information and enable our customers to work smarter, make educated decisions to efficiently manage their learning resources, and more effectively deliver an educational experience,” said Nader Qaimari, President, Follett School Solutions.
Available to use on any device, Follett Destiny® Analytics will create interactive dashboards and reports to analyze and visualize information, which then can be easily shared with other district personnel. Highly interactive, the tool will allow users to begin a query in one area and ask subsequent questions based on new information and data uncovered.
Analytics will be integrated into the existing Follett Destiny® platform in three ways:
1) Dashboard: Immediately upon opening Follett Destiny® Analytics, relevant inactive charts and graphs are displayed that anyone can use without having any product experience.
2) Preconfigured Analyses: Ready-made analyses to dynamically provide a preconfigured selection of data and processed information or visualizations, yet still provide interactive operability.
3) Analyzer Tool: A universal tool to select data, and create an interactive analysis grid to manipulate and generate data visualizations.
An explainer video brings Follett Destiny® Analytics to life — http://bit.ly/2vvKos9. Also, a recent webinar is archived and available for viewing: http://tinyurl.com/y8rtgryj. To reach a sales representative to inquire about Follett Destiny® Analytics, call (877) 899-8550.
