CloudCrowd Delivers the World's First Online Factory Assembly Lines

SAN FRANCISCO, May 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Crowdsourcing, the process of using a distributed, unrelated group of workers to carry out tasks over the Internet, has long been associated with speed and low cost. The new generation of crowdsourcing addresses one of the biggest previous limitations of this approach: the difficulty of linking simple online tasks into sophisticated workflows. The leader of the Crowdsourcing 2.0 wave, CloudCrowd, is saving businesses time and money with its powerful Labor-as-a-Service platform.

"When crowdsourcing first emerged a few years ago, its range of services and accuracy was very limited," said CloudCrowd's CEO Alex Edelstein. "Now, similar to the way Henry Ford's early assembly lines created a new, more efficient way to complete work, we've designed an online process that delivers accurate finished work for even complex projects at a significant savings."

Today's crowdsourcing workers don't resemble workers of the industrial revolution. Working from home or from the neighborhood coffee shop, while the baby is sleeping, or late at night, they can move easily from one task to the next, participating in a variety of different work. The tasks, which range from quick, one penny jobs to comprehensive ten dollar projects, challenge workers and give them an opportunity to make real money.

Fortune 500 companies, small businesses and organizations from a wide array of industries are all benefitting from CloudCrowd's innovative "virtual factory" model.  Its team of project managers and developers begin by designing customized workflows and breaking client's large projects into thousands of granular tasks.  These individual tasks are then distributed online to more than 18,000 registered workers at CloudCrowd Workspace.  Once complete, each task is checked and verified through a series of escalating peer reviews that ensures its accuracy.  Each worker earns an individual Credibility Rating that determines the level of tasks they are offered, and their rating improves with each task that they complete correctly.  CloudCrowd's proprietary system allows thousands of tasks to be done in parallel, completed and delivered much more quickly than they could be done in-house or with traditional outsourcing. 

"CloudCrowd is Crowdsourcing 2.0," added Edelstein, "For the first time, companies can effectively leverage this talented workforce to accomplish large, complex projects for a fraction of the cost and time."
