Leading continuing education school will deploy integrated business platform to enhance student experience and improve business flexibility and scalability
TORONTO, Feb. 9, 2012 — Destiny Solutions today announced that the New York University School of Continuing and Professional Studies (NYU-SCPS), one of the country's oldest and largest schools of its kind, has selected Destiny One to transform its legacy business systems, enhance the student enrollment experience and scale program development for its non-credit operations. The specialized business suite will allow NYU-SCPS to meet the growing educational needs of non-credit students throughout the New York metropolitan area, across the country and around the globe.
NYU-SCPS will extend their PeopleSoft Enterprise Campus Solution with Destiny One to consolidate their department systems onto a scalable enterprise platform. Prior to selecting Destiny One, NYU-SCPS was using disparate systems for non-credit programs in the areas of enrollment, registration, marketing and administrative management. With Destiny One, NYU-SCPS academic units, and the enrollment management and marketing teams, will be able to work on the same platform, ensuring planning flexibility, and a more robust student relationship management experience.
"Our non-credit academic units offer a full range of traditional and online courses, certificates, intensive study options, and corporate training programs. We needed one system designed for the divergent needs of our students," said NYU-SCPS interim co-dean and associate dean of administration, Dennis Di Lorenzo. "The breadth and depth of the Destiny One business platform will enable us to deliver to our students the best overall engagement experience and to streamline and scale our business from end to end."
Deployed through a fully managed, enterprise-level hosting environment, NYU-SCPS will implement Destiny One to manage the individual identities and program offerings for more than 1,500 non-credit courses and certificates. The new system will provide the School with a collaborative curriculum development environment to accelerate course and program creation, automate scheduling and publishing, and streamline instructor contract and student wait-list management. NYU-SCPS will extend the deployment of Destiny One to marketing, enrollment and administration in 2012.
"Our experience in the business of lifelong learning helps us to truly understand the changing landscape for today's non traditional learners," said Shaul Kuper, president and CEO of Destiny Solutions. "Destiny Solutions is excited to partner with NYU-SCPS, because its commitment to improving the overall student experience is much like our own. The School is a proven leader in driving student success, and we are excited to be a part of advancing its mission with Destiny Solutions technology."
