SumTotal Systems LLC is a workforce and learning management software company whose products include time and attendance systems and the Pathlore learning management platform, which SumTotal acquired in 2005. The company was owned by Vista Equity Partners from 2009 to 2014, by Skillsoft from 2014 to 2022, and has been owned by Cornerstone OnDemand since Cornerstone completed its acquisition of SumTotal from Skillsoft in August 2022.
