[ISLMA-Share] Destiny + Skyward?

Kankakee School District 111 uses both Skyward and Destiny, and the short answer is yes and no.  Once a student is enrolled, and entered into Skyward as active, they are imported into Destiny as part of a nightly update.  It works well.  Our tech department has made that happen.

Now fees and fines are a bit more unwieldy.  We also use Skyward as our student accounts program.  If a student incurs a library fee for a lost or damaged book, that fee is exported to Skyward.  Then, payment has to be entered into Skyward, and then the payment is exported back to Destiny. This update takes place every hour during the day-that is the way our tech dept set it up.   So if you charge library fees, you have to have personnel that have access to both Destiny and Skyward Student.

Do any of you have Skyward and Destiny in your district?



Our District uses Skyward as a student management system and we have Destiny for our elementary libraries.  Our Destiny is hosted by Follett.  We would like to know if Skyward can interface with Destiny, and push in students as they are enrolled, as data is changed, etc.  I was told by Destiny tech support that there needs to be a SFTP server with an account for Destiny...Our district doesn't have a SFTP server.  Does anyone know if there is an extra cost if Destiny creates this interface on their end?



I hope I am being clear enough.  I'm a little over my head in this department.  Thank you!
