SANTA MONICA, Calif., February 17, 2011 - Learning and talent management software provider Cornerstone OnDemand today announced that the company has been named a "Leader" in IDC's 2011 Integrated Talent Management MarketScape report. The report's evaluation is based on a comprehensive framework that assesses vendors relative to the criteria and one another and highlights the factors expected to be the most influential to success in the market, both short and long term.
