CloudCrowd Launches CloudCrowd Workspace
New Work Platform Provides Employment Opportunities and Promises High Quality
(San Francisco, CA) CloudCrowd today launched CloudCrowd Workspace, its online Labor-As-A-Service cloudsourcing platform. The platform launched with four projects ranging from an English writing task that pays $1.50 to a fast review task that pays $.02. All of the work is divided into individual tasks that can be done at any pace.
"CloudCrowd Workspace represents the next evolution of outsourcing," said Alex Edelstein, CloudCrowd CEO. "Traditional outsourcing sends white-collar work to India, but costs there have been rising as India grapples with traditional overhead issues: building rent, layers of management, IT infrastructure support, and the difficulty of handling spikes of time-sensitive work. We are able to undercut the "India Price" even as we send the work to a wide range of US-based workers."
CloudCrowd Workspace provides work opportunities to a wide range of underserved groups:
- Stay-at-Home Parents
- People living far from urban centers of white-collar employment
- Retirees
- People with mobility limitations
- Global workers
At the heart of CloudCrowd's system is an intricate Credibility framework that constantly evaluates the quality of each Worker to minimize the amount of necessary oversight. Each piece of work is typically reviewed by 1-3 workers. Rejected work cycles back automatically and is redone by a different Worker. "Large-scale feedback and credibility systems can be very powerful," Said Jordan Ritter, Co-founder and Chief Technical Officer. "We built these systems at CloudMark to process billions of email messages for spam, and now we're implementing similar systems to handle millions of workers."
CloudCrowd is creating the world’s first Labor Operating System, a workplace that allows companies and other work providers to take large, manual projects and have that work completed at a fraction of the cost of salaried workers anytime, anyplace, anywhere by tapping into a global Labor-as-a-Service workforce. A comprehensive Credibility system leverages automated review of each task, which generates effective, powerful feedback that enables the Platform to inexpensively weed out poor quality work with near infinite scalability. Intuitive workflow enables managers to break projects into discrete tasks and pay for their completion on an Cost-Per-Action basis, rather than the traditional approach: hiring expensive managers to oversee ranks of expensive salaried workers that have to be supported, provided with office space, and given costly benefits. For large markets like Data Entry and Image review, the cost savings that can be achieved range up 50%. Started by veterans of Netscape, Microsoft, Cloudmark, and Inktomi, CloudCrowd will evolve outsourcing into its next form of success: Labor-as-a-Service.
