The system ingests roughly 28TB of labor-market data daily, running large-scale computations against a billion worker profiles and five billion job roles across more than 190 countries, to match employees to skills, roles and learning paths as jobs change.
“Our goal at United is to provide best-in-class learning for all our different populations. Cornerstone helps us ensure that we meet these goals efficiently and effectively.”
