LONDON, 30 January 2014 – Cornerstone OnDemand (NASDAQ: CSOD), a global leader in cloud-based talent management solutions, today announced it has been recognised by Elearnity as a Strategic Leader in the 2014 9-Grid for Learning Management Systems report.[1]

The latest Elearnity 9-Grid positions vendors according to their potential and scope, market and customer performance, market presence, total cost of ownership and future trajectory. Cornerstone is the only vendor to be named as a Strategic Leader in Elearnity’s report.

“A leading global LMS provider with an equally strong presence in Europe, Cornerstone OnDemand continues to consistently deliver strong customer advocacy and impressive market growth,” the report states. “With a pure play, multi-tenant-SaaS offering, and organically grown customer base, Cornerstone does not have to contend with legacy platform versions. (This) also enables it to offer a healthy stream of innovation to all customers.” The report also notes Cornerstone’s innovations in the areas of social and mobile, integrated approach to talent management, and rapidly growing user base – which includes “many of Europe’s leading brands across a wide range of industry sectors.”

Organisations around the world use the Cornerstone Learning Cloud – which delivers the world’s leading cloud-based learning application with solutions for e-learning, social learning, instructor-led training, compliance and certification management, mobile training, and more – to deliver, track and report on highly targeted learning initiatives of any kind to employees.

“Recognition as the only Strategic Leader in Elearnity’s report reflects Cornerstone’s fierce commitment to product innovation and the success of our clients,” said Vincent Belliveau, senior vice president and general manager, EMEA, for Cornerstone OnDemand. “Learning has always been at the core of our unified talent management suite, with capabilities for making training and development accessible to employees anytime, anywhere and at the exact point of need. Delivering the right blend of continuous, targeted learning is essential to closing competency gaps, developing future leaders and ultimately helping to ensure the right people are in the right roles and with the right skills.”
