Butch,

Those questions are covered in the contract you sign with Follett.

Subject: Re: [ISLMA-Share] Hosting Destiny

I have no positives or negatives about Destiny to share, but there are some questions worth knowing the answers to:


  *   Who owns the data that the school is providing/inputting into the program?
  *   Who is liable for the protection of that data?
  *   Is there a guarantee of quality of service (uptime) and any process for reviewing the program's performance and delivery?
  *   What happens should the school board suddenly decide to cancel the contract, or if Destiny gets sold? By "what happens" I mean -- to the school's information that is in the system and to whatever remains of the service contract.
There are far too many software systems that our schools are using that do not address these potential issues at all, let alone that address them in a manner that is both legal and practical.  Having these answers up front saves a great deal of grief later.

My Technology Director just came to me and said he is thinking about changing from housing Destiny on our own school server to paying the fee to have Follett host/manage our Destiny program.  Anyone have any experiences with the hosted version?  Positives? Negatives?
