Cornerstone OnDemand Strengthens Strategic Relationship with LinkedIn

LONDON – February 8, 2018 – Cornerstone OnDemand (NASDAQ:CSOD), a global leader in cloud-based learning and human capital management software, announced today it has expanded its strategic global relationship with LinkedIn to offer organisations expanded corporate learning technology and content options that meet the needs of both organisations and their employees.

Under the agreement, LinkedIn and Cornerstone will collaborate on customer opportunities and will integrate solutions to bring Cornerstone customers content from LinkedIn Learning in one seamless experience. The integration is expected to be available in Spring 2018 and will allow both companies to broaden their corporate learning offerings and appeal to organisations looking to provide a holistic, engaging learning experience for employees.

Over the next 10 years, organisations will face an uphill battle as jobs are redefined and competition for new skills intensifies. Many organisations are searching for the right learning tools and content needed to proactively up-skill and re-skill their workforce and support their business needs today and into the future. Through LinkedIn Learning and the Cornerstone Learning Suite, organisations can more successfully embrace the emergence of the skills economy by weaving continuous, lifelong learning into daily employee activity while also addressing extensive organisational learning requirements.

Cornerstone also recently announced that Silver Lake and LinkedIn have invested $300 million in Cornerstone to accelerate the company’s next phase of growth.
