Cornerstone OnDemand (NASDAQ: CSOD) announced that it has collaborated with
Workday Inc., the leader in SaaS-based enterprise solutions for
human resources,

financial management, to enable integration between the
Cornerstone Learning Cloud and Workday Human Capital Management (HCM).
Customers of Cornerstone OnDemand and Workday will be able to use this cloud-to-cloud integration at no added cost, and without the need for custom development or additional middleware or servers. The jointly designed and developed integration will bring worker, organizational and talent information to and from Workday Human Capital Management and the Cornerstone Learning Cloud. This will enable customers to leverage their investments in each solution and bring together the key information employees, managers and executives need to have in one place.
“The Cornerstone and Workday integration creates a truly unified experience for organizations that want to align learning with their broader human capital and talent management initiatives,” said David Somers, vice president of alliances and strategy for Cornerstone OnDemand. “The close collaboration among our product teams ensures that organizations are now able to seamlessly share relevant data among the systems, such as competencies, and transcripts and certifications, and, in turn, more effectively develop their workforces.”

The Cornerstone Learning Cloud, with features for e-learning, instructor-led training administration, compliance management, enterprise social networking and more, has been recognized as a leading solution by industry analyst firms such as IDC and Forrester Research.
