The rebrand reflects Cornerstone's growth and its commitment to a modern, dependable client experience. The trusted service customers rely on stays the same.

  • Stronger security: Enhancements include upgraded encryption and multi-factor authentication to protect sensitive licensing data and files.
  • Real-time visibility: Users can track application status and view work history directly in the portal, which improves planning and decision-making.
  • Due-date tracking: Built-in reminders keep applications and renewals on schedule to reduce the risk of missed deadlines.
  • In-task conversations: Collaboration threads live directly inside each task, which reduces email back-and-forth and preserves context.

Meet AtlasVault: Secure File Management Built for Licensing

AtlasVault is Atlas's secure file exchange and document hub. It simplifies how clients and Cornerstone teams collaborate on licensing packages and bond documents.

Key capabilities and benefits

It all serves one goal: making complex licensing work simpler and more transparent for clients across financial service industries such as lending, mortgage, debt collection, and money services.

"Atlas shows our commitment to investing in next-generation licensing technology. Our team has built a modern experience that makes licensing faster, simpler, and easier for the clients we serve. The rebrand highlights how we come alongside clients, carrying the weight of complex compliance requirements so they can stay focused on growing their business."
