Cornerstone OnDemand Named a “Leader” in Talent Management by Independent Research Firm

SANTA MONICA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cornerstone OnDemand (NASDAQ: CSOD), a global leader in cloud-based talent management software solutions, today announced that the company has been ranked as a “Leader” in the March 2013 report, “The Forrester Wave™: Talent Management, Q1 2013” by Forrester Research Inc.

“The Forrester Wave™: Talent Management, Q1 2013”

“Cornerstone is the fastest growing talent management vendor in organic growth of new customers, active customer increases and company employees,” writes Forrester senior analyst Claire Schooley in the report. “As a forward-looking company, it offers features like a full extended enterprise app for customers and partners, a rich career development product, and a leading learning management system with significant investment in meeting localization needs of non-US-based companies. The applications are also very flexible and adaptable and growing in the area of making mobile and social ‘everywhere.’”

Forrester’s assessment evaluates a vendor’s SaaS offerings in three different areas: performance, learning and succession. Forrester conducted the product evaluations in late 2012 and interviewed nine vendors and more than 30 user companies that included enterprise and mid-market firms and Forrester inquiry clients using the evaluated products. Cornerstone OnDemand was cited as a “leader” in the evaluation, receiving the highest scores of the group in installed base and the highest score possible in strategic alliances.

“We are honored to be recognized once again in Forrester’s Wave as a leader in talent management solutions,” said Jason Corsello, vice president, corporate strategy and marketing for Cornerstone OnDemand. “While the talent management market rapidly consolidated over the past year, we have remained focused on becoming the clear leader in the space. Our commitment to innovation, product leadership and client success is the reason why many of the world’s leading organizations are choosing Cornerstone to empower their workforces.”
