Cornerstone is an organization who genuinely cares about the work that they're doing. You see a big difference compared to our last vendor. The anxiety that I used to have when dealing with our previous vendor is gone because of the professionalism and responsiveness. Working with our previous licensing vendor was a nightmare. This is the first time in five years I've been able to sleep at night because of the stress. Cornerstone has been a breath of fresh air.
