Cornerstone and Intellum both support enterprise learning, but their approaches are very different. Cornerstone’s legacy, stitched-together LMS can feel heavy and hard to scale — especially when you need to serve large or external audiences.

Intellum takes a
modern, unified approach.

By combining content creation, delivery, engagement, and analytics in one platform, Intellum gives teams a faster, more flexible way to scale learning that actually changes behavior.
