Summary

The Cornerstone OnDemand company, a talent management firm, migrated from an outdated CMS architecture to the JAMstack, powered by Netlify, Gatsby, and Sanity.io. This transition improved page loads by 25% and reduced time to market with new web pages and content by 30%. The new architecture also greatly improved the team's ability to retain and attract new talent. The development process was streamlined using features like CDNs, branch deploys, branch previews, continuous deployment, serverless functions, and CMS integrations. This allowed the team to develop faster, with tasks taking 30% less time than before, and enabled them to hire developers more quickly. The transition also increased enthusiasm among employees, candidates, and executives, leading to new project requests and a renewed focus on modern web development technologies.
