    Cornerstone MicroApps
    for Real-Time Data and Action Inside Your HR Platform

    Cornerstone stores a wealth of data. Training records, certifications, compliance, performance, career paths, team structures, and learning histories.

    Cornerstone MicroApps are modular applications that run inside your platform and connect directly to live data. They turn that data into clear, focused views and task-ready actions. Connected through real-time APIs, they bring everything together in one place. No exports. No extra tools. Just instant access for managers, employees, and HR.

    Runs directly in your HR platform

    Because the data is already there. The right views just weren’t.

    MicroApps. Major impact.

    Cornerstone MicroApps are modular applications that run directly in your platform. Each one is built for a specific use case, bringing everything into one focused view designed for real work.

    They adapt to the people using them. Managers see their teams, employees see what requires attention, and HR gains visibility across the organization. You can start with one MicroApp or combine several into a setup that grows with your needs.

    Beyond customization

    MicroApps expand what Cornerstone can do

    Most Cornerstone customization focuses on how the platform looks. Branding, layouts, navigation, and content.

    MicroApps go further. They introduce fully functional applications that work with live data and support real tasks in practice. Instead of adjusting how Cornerstone looks, they expand what it can actually do.
