Cornerstone OnDemand Introduces Innovations in Succession and Certification Management with Spring 2008 Release



Cornerstone OnDemand, Inc., the only proven provider of on-demand, integrated talent management software (http://www.cornerstoneondemand.com/products/overview.html) and services, today announced the availability of its Spring 2008 release. Currently available to all new and existing clients, Cornerstone's Spring 2008 release is designed to help organizations of all sizes engage their workforce with strategic talent pooling, evolve their talent strategy with new certification functionality to drive up compliance rates, and empower organizations with self-service tools for talent data management.

With the Spring 2008 release, organizations can run talent assessment and succession planning tasks on specific pools of employees to identify critical roles and readiness for movement. Succession plans can be developed using assessors outside of the strict managerial hierarchy - across the organization for real value. With Cornerstone's broad integrated talent management suite, this means that talent pools can be identified by choosing from a great diversity of learning, performance, succession, and workforce factors.

Cornerstone's existing compliance and certification tools have been enhanced to improve the way that end users manage ongoing certifications and to bolster compliance reporting and analytics for managers. Also new with the Spring 2008 release are self-service upload tools, which will provide clients with a great deal of flexibility in importing historical training and talent data.

"Cornerstone's product development evolves from ongoing collaboration and dialogue with our clients," said Adam Miller, President and CEO, Cornerstone OnDemand. "With this release, Cornerstone is taking client-tested, cutting-edge practices around talent pooling and succession management and making them available to all our subscribers."
