Support across your full Cornerstone journey
Getting started
We work with HR and L&D teams from first setup and implementation through optimization, migration, and everything that follows. The goal is not just to get Cornerstone live, but to shape it so it fits your organization and works in day to day use.
Where we make the difference
Built on years of hands-on experience inside Cornerstone, we work as an extension of your team and stay closely involved throughout. What makes the difference is how we combine implementation with customization, design, and internal campaigns. A platform will not succeed if people do not know it exists or why they should use it, so we focus just as much on how it is introduced and used as on how it is built.

Why Octily
Cornerstone, but designed for the people using it
We do not just configure systems
Anyone can tick boxes in a setup wizard. We focus on the choices that affect daily use.
We focus on real users
Every decision is tested against the people who will actually log in on Monday morning.
Consulting, customization, and design in one team
No handoffs between strategy and execution. The same people who plan it also build it.
The things Cornerstone doesn't do out of the box
Over the years, we kept seeing the same requests. That's why we built our own products and platform extensions to solve challenges that standard Cornerstone functionality doesn't cover.
Octily Content Editor
Give your team control over pages, content, and campaigns without relying on developers.
MicroApps
Add focused functionality exactly where your employees need it, from onboarding and compliance to learning and engagement.
Chatbot Studio
Help employees find answers, complete tasks, and get support without leaving the platform.
octo.taxi
Connect Cornerstone with the rest of your ecosystem and build powerful pages, dashboards, widgets, and experiences across platforms.
