Case Study: Cornerstone achieves faster web delivery and better performance with Netlify

Cornerstone OnDemand Delivers Web Projects 30% Faster with Netlify

Cornerstone OnDemand, a global talent management company, needed to modernize its website to support 12 international versions, improve performance, and speed up content updates. Its legacy CMS, PHP-based architecture, and self-managed servers were causing slow load times, downtime, IT bottlenecks, and hiring challenges. Cornerstone turned to Netlify to help address these issues as part of a broader web replatforming effort.

Using Netlify with Gatsby and Sanity.io, Cornerstone rebuilt its web properties on a modern JAMstack architecture with CDN delivery, branch deploys and previews, continuous deployment, serverless functions, redirects, and CMS integrations. The results were significant: page loads improved by more than 25%, time to market for web projects improved by 30%, and the team hired two developers in two months instead of six. Netlify also reduced reliance on IT and helped Cornerstone’s team move faster, collaborate more easily, and take on more advanced web initiatives.
