CloudCrowd

 

CloudCrowd has attracted projects from a wide range of companies who recognize the power of the CloudCrowd Workspace to get their work done quickly and accurately, without having to review and manage the results themselves.  "The projects we tackle simply can't be done effectively on Mechanical Turk", said Edelstein, "Companies come to us when they realize that they don't have the resources or the inclination to check and correct every task they're running."
 

CloudCrowd has built 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.
