The combination of humans and software is the secret sauce for today’s on-demand economy. Artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced machine learning have made software smarter than ever, but it’s significantly limited in processing unstructured data that doesn’t fit in its pre-defined models. For example, only humans can process data that requires identifying items in a photograph or deciphering handwritten text on a receipt.

Technology has transformed how we work and get work done. Companies like Uber and TaskRabbit connect people with workers in real time, based on their expertise, location or availability — making it faster, cheaper and on-demand.

A similar model has emerged in business-to-business (B2B) services. Everyone from global enterprise companies to startups use labor they tap from the cloud, and in the process gain a significant competitive advantage. From marketing to product engineering and human resources to operations, companies are using on-demand workforces to scale smarter and faster while they reduce risk and control costs.

At CloudFactory we specialize in leveraging the power of technology and human intelligence to produce quality results for our customers, so they can focus on moving their businesses forward. Therefore we’re always seeking new frameworks and ideas for marrying the capabilities of both to reach new levels of productivity and efficiency.

Thousands of businesses understand that there is a new way to get work done and smarter ways to scale. The on-demand economy has opened up opportunities for businesses to get important work done in all functional areas. Tapping an on-demand workforce for B2B oriented work is different than calling an Uber driver for a ride to the airport. Business processes can take time to gel, and new opportunities for optimization emerge. But choosing the right workforce partner can be challenging in this new landscape with providers ranging from self-service marketplaces to privately managed models.

As companies grow and scale just about every expert points to hiring the right people as one of the most important things to get right. There is simply too much work to be done, and if you focus on the wrong kinds of work you’re wasting valuable resources and capital, the very lifeblood of your business. To that end, within every organization lies data work that is routine and tedious, yet it's often vitally important to scaling a critical process, product or idea.
