IDEXX Cornerstone Practice Management Software vs. YAPI

It is well suited for larger organizations to remove the need to manually track down where a performance review is at any given time, you can always find where it is in the system. It does require a lot of dedicated support to launch the process so I do not believe it would work as well in smaller organizations where you may not have the extra time or "hands" it takes to build and test the template and process.

• Takes annual goals set up at the beginning of the year and puts them in the performance management process for employees to begin their self-evaluations.
• Routes from employee, to manager, to second-level manager, to HR, for review and then sends back to all for acknowledgment and sign-off.
• It sends out automatic emails prompting everyone included in the process to begin the process, prompt them through the process and emails when the process is complete.

• The process to actually set up the performance management template is more complicated than it should be.
• Setting up the performance management task process is also a little complicated. I do not think it is as user-friendly as it could be. It took a lot of assistance from a Cornerstone implementation specialist to get the process set up.
• It would be nice to be able to remove some features that are hard coded in the performance management template. We have no need for the Tasks & Targets part of the template, however they could not be removed and really confused our employees.

I did not care for SuccessFactors, I felt Cornerstone is a much easier system to understand

• I don't have hard numbers, but it saved HR a ton of time from constantly having to track down reviews. When done through the manual process, it could take a full year to get a completed reviews into our HR file.
• I was told that this was one of the easiest review cycles the manager has ever experienced at our company.
