Cornerstone Migration
If you were implementing Cornerstone today, would you build it exactly the same way? Probably not. That's what makes migration such a valuable opportunity. Instead of copying years of configuration into a new platform, we'll help you review what's working, simplify what isn't and make the move from CSX, Saba Cloud, EdCast or another LMS to Cornerstone Workforce AI with a platform that's ready for the future.

Making the right move
The goal isn't to move everything. It's to move the right things.
Migration projects often focus on moving data, configuration and learning from one platform to another. That's important, but it's only part of a successful migration.
Every Cornerstone platform reflects years of decisions. New functionality is introduced, processes change and configuration grows alongside them. A migration gives you the opportunity to review the platform before everything is carried into the next environment.
Our migration services help you understand what should stay, what can be improved and what no longer adds value. Whether you're moving from CSX, Saba Cloud, EdCast or another learning management system, we'll help you build a Cornerstone Workforce AI platform that's simpler to manage, easier to use and ready for whatever comes next.
Cornerstone Workforce AI
One platform.
One experience.
Looking ahead
Build the platform your organization needs today.
Every organization changes. Teams grow, new functionality is introduced and business processes evolve. The same happens in Cornerstone. Features are added, configuration expands and new ways of working are introduced over time.
Migration is the right time to review all of it. Not everything needs to change, but not everything needs to move either. Keeping what still adds value and leaving behind what doesn't makes the next version of your platform easier to manage from day one.
Leave behind
- Unused configuration
- Duplicate learning content
- Outdated approval processes
- Legacy branding and pages
- Retired integrations
- Complexity that no longer adds value
Move forward
- Learning history that still matters
- Courses and certifications people still use
- Users, groups and organizational structure
- Skills and learning journeys
- Integrations that still add value
- Reports people still rely on
The best time to simplify your platform is while you're already changing it.
Your unique challenge
Where are you moving from?
No two migration projects are the same. Moving from CSX is different from Saba Cloud or EdCast. Preparing an existing Cornerstone environment for Workforce AI is different from replacing another learning management system. Every migration starts with understanding the platform you have today. From there, we decide what moves across, what gets improved and what can be left behind. The result is a migration plan that's built around your platform instead of a standard approach.
Moving from CSX
Move from the classic Cornerstone experience to Workforce AI while reviewing years of configuration, navigation and learning. Simplify the platform before complexity becomes part of the new environment.
Moving from Saba Cloud
Bring learning history, users and administration into Cornerstone Workforce AI with a structured migration approach. Review existing processes and simplify the platform while you're making the move.
Moving from EdCast
Bring learning, knowledge and AI experiences together in Cornerstone Workforce AI. Review content, recommendations and user journeys before moving everything into one platform.
Preparing for Workforce AI
Already using Cornerstone? We'll help you prepare for the Single Architecture (formerly Unified Navigation) and the latest Workforce AI capabilities while reviewing your current setup.
Replacing another LMS
Move from another learning management system to Cornerstone Workforce AI with a structured migration plan. Review content, users, reporting and integrations before anything is migrated.
Consolidating platforms
Bring multiple learning platforms together into one Cornerstone environment. Reduce complexity, simplify administration and create a more consistent experience for everyone.
Long-term success
The first few weeks shape long-term success.
Getting the platform live is one milestone. The real success of the project depends on how well the platform is adopted across the organization. That's why we stay involved after launch. We help support the rollout, gather feedback and keep improving the platform so it continues to deliver value long after go-live.
Adoption
A successful migration needs more than a launch email. A structured launch campaign helps employees understand what's changing, where to go, what to expect and how to get started. Clear communication and the right support encourage adoption across the organization.
Hypercare
Support administrators and users during the first weeks after launch while questions, feedback and unexpected issues are still fresh. Solving small issues early helps build confidence in the platform from day one.
User feedback
Gather feedback from administrators, managers and employees once they're using the platform. Early feedback often uncovers practical improvements that make the platform easier to use, easier to manage and more valuable every day.
Optimization
Once the platform has settled, continue improving it based on real usage and feedback. Refine configuration, simplify processes and keep Cornerstone aligned with the way your organization works as it grows and evolves.
Understanding the challenge
The best ideas often come from the conversation.
A migration project usually starts with a clear request. Before we start making changes, we first want to understand the challenge behind that request. You know your organization. We know Cornerstone. Bringing those two together often changes the direction of the project.
Cornerstone has changed a lot over the years, and so have the possibilities around it. Most organizations don't have the time to keep up with everything that's available today. That's where we can help. We know where standard Cornerstone ends and where customization and our own products can extend the platform. Together, we build a platform around the way your organization works.
Customization
Extend Cornerstone beyond standard configuration with tailored pages, workflows, navigation and functionality built around your organization.

Creative
Drive adoption and engagement with creative campaigns, content and communications that bring your migration to life.
