Human Resources: Cornerstone OnDemand – Sharpens Focus on Public Sector

Santa Monica, CA – May 6, 2008 – Cornerstone OnDemand, Inc., the only proven provider of on-demand, integrated learning and talent management software, content and services, today announced that they have strengthened their public sector practice to deliver world-class integrated learning and talent management solutions to federal government agencies.

Cornerstone and the National Technical Information Service - a division of the U.S. Department of Commerce that serves as the largest central resource for government-funded scientific, technical, engineering and business related information - have entered into a strategic partnership to provide a comprehensive integrated talent management solution. The solution will be delivered on-demand to help train and develop, assess performance and competencies, and enable career planning for critical job roles across federal agencies.

With this agreement, Cornerstone OnDemand becomes one of the preferred providers of the USA Learning Consortium, which provides online talent management solutions for more than 1.8 million federal employees.

“Cornerstone’s cutting edge solution and Software-as-a-Service delivery model made the decision to partner with them very easy. As we in the Federal government welcome the internet generation into public service, it is Cornerstone-like solutions that they expect and embrace,” said Shannon Burrington, Associate Director, Office of Business Development, NTIS. “Cornerstone’s solution allows agency employees to actively engage in their day-to-day performance and development, which will ultimately help them attain their long term career goals.”

“We are pleased to be partnering with NTIS and the USA Learning Consortium to provide Federal agencies with access to world-class learning and talent management solutions,” said Miranda Ashby, Director of Public Sector, Cornerstone. “Public sector organizations continue to lead the way toward building a Federal civil service and can rely on proven applications, such as Cornerstone’s, to enhance how their people are developed and perform in their roles.”
