Maximizing ROI with Cornerstone OnDemand: A Deep Dive into Costs, Usage, and Learning Impact

When evaluating your learning management system (LMS), it’s critical to look beyond just the platform and consider its full economic and operational impact. Let’s walk through what a typical Cornerstone OnDemand setup might look like based on the data you provide.

💰 The Real Cost of Cornerstone OnDemand

Your organization currently invests $

annually for your Cornerstone LMS license. In addition to that, you incur an extra $

each year in support, maintenance, and other associated costs. These figures represent your baseline annual investment in the platform.

To manage the system, you have

LMS administrators, each dedicating about

hours per month to keeping things running smoothly. With an average hourly cost of

What Can Company_Name Gain By Switching to Intellum?

Less Admin = Reclaimed Capacity

Admins get time back for strategic work

By switching to Intellum, <strong>{{$json["company_name"]}}'s {{$json["number_of_lms_admins"]}} LMS admins</strong> will <strong>save {{$json["admin_hours_reduction_percent_display"]}}%</strong> of their time — <strong>about {{$json["admin_hours_gained_per_admin"]}} hours each per year</strong> — so they can focus on designing better learning experiences instead of wrestling with manual enrollments and reports. </p>  <h2>More Impact = Learning That Sticks</h2>  <p><strong>Higher learner engagement and course completions.</strong></p>  <p> Typical Intellum customers see completion rates improve by <strong>2–3x</strong>. With your <strong>current completion rate of {{$json["course_completion_rate"]}}%</strong>, you could see it move toward <strong>{{$json["improved_completion_rate_display_clean"]}}%</strong>. </p>  <p> These improvements mean fewer knowledge gaps, stronger compliance, more certifications, and a culture where training actually changes behavior. </p>  <h2>Faster Productivity = Business Impact</h2>  <p><strong>New hires get productive faster.</strong></p>  <p> As learner engagement increases, new hire onboarding times decrease. Your new hires could ramp  <strong>{{ $json["months_onboarding_time_saved_per_hire"] >= 1      ? Math.round($json["months_onboarding_time_saved_per_hire"]) + " months"      : "about " + Math.max(1, Math.round($json["months_onboarding_time_saved_per_hire"] * 4.33)) + " weeks" }} sooner</strong> on average, recapturing <strong>{{$json["onboarding_cost_savings_per_employee_display"]}} of potential productivity</strong> per employee. </p>  <p> With <strong>{{$json["number_of_new_hires_onboarded_annually"]}} hires each year</strong>, that’s <strong>{{$json["onboarding_cost_savings_total_display"]}}</strong> of potential productivity unlocked annually — enough to fund a meaningful initiative or two! </p>  <h2>Bottom-Line</h2>  <p> By switching to Intellum, <strong>the {{$json["company_name"]}} team gains over {{ Math.round($json["total_hours_gained"]).toLocaleString() }} hours</strong> of collective capacity to manage high-impact programs and build high-value learning.  </p>  <p> The model projects: </p> <ul> <li>Hard dollar ROI: <strong>{{ $json.hard_dollar_roi_percent_display }}</strong> — from license and admin cost reductions</li> <li>Soft dollar savings: <strong>{{$json["soft_dollar_savings_display"]}}</strong> — from improved learner completion and faster onboarding</li> </ul>  <p> <strong>Switching from Cornerstone to Intellum would pay for itself in just  {{ $json["payback_period_months"] >= 1      ? $json["payback_period_display_value"]      : "about 1 month" }}.</strong> </p>  <p> That’s the kind of <strong>efficiency</strong> and <strong>impact</strong> any business leader will want to own. </p>
