Usually, the problem isn’t missing data. It’s that no one’s using it.

Cornerstone holds a lot of valuable information. But when people need to search for it, switch between pages, or figure things out themselves, most of that value gets lost. That’s where MicroApps make all the difference.

1. Getting an overview takes too much work

The information is already there, just scattered across the platform. People move between pages to understand what’s happening, whether it’s tasks, training, approvals, or progress.

MicroApps give you a clear starting point, so you don’t have to piece things together yourself.

2. Reports rarely lead to action

Reports show what’s happening, but they rely on someone opening them and deciding what to do next. If overdue training or pending approvals sit in a report, they’re easy to miss.

MicroApps don’t just surface what matters. They show trends, give a clear view of the current status, and highlight what needs attention. You can see what’s going on at a glance and act on it directly, without extra clicks or switching pages.

3. Default pages don’t fit how you work

Out of the box, pages are built for general use. But every organisation has its own setup, priorities, and way of working.

MicroApps let you shape specific use cases around how your organisation works, instead of adapting to a one size fits all layout.

4. Data lives in too many places

Learning, compliance, onboarding, performance, tasks, and surveys all sit in different parts of the platform. To connect them, people either jump between modules or rely on reports.

MicroApps let you decide how that information should be combined. For example, you can bring together team training progress, compliance status, and upcoming actions in one view, or combine onboarding tasks, learning, and milestones in one place. It’s not about showing everything, it’s about showing what belongs together.

5. Not every scenario needs a big build

Sometimes you don’t need a full page or complex setup. You just need one clean view focused on a specific use case.

MicroApps are smaller, faster to set up, and designed exactly for that.

6. It doesn’t always feel like your platform

Standard components don’t always reflect your organisation.

MicroApps can be styled to match your brand, so they feel like a natural part of your platform and are easier to recognise and trust.

The real value

MicroApps make the data you already have easier to understand and easier to use. They show the current status clearly and make it easy to act in the same place.

Less searching. Less switching. More clarity. More action.

If the data is there but people aren’t using it, that’s exactly the gap MicroApps are built to close.
