cheaper content sets

Data providers are hitting two big road blocks.
WORKFORCE
- UNSCALABLE- INFLEXIBLE- SLOW- EXPENSIVE
TECH
- GUI- SOURCING- PROCESSING- ETL
You’ve probably squeezed all of the potential productivity out of your FTE
workforce.
You may have even added automation and crowdsourced / freelance workers.
AUTOMATION(NLP, scrapers)
CROWDS(crowdsourcing,
freelancers, outsourcing, BPO)
EMPLOYEES(subject matter
experts)
POLL: Do you crowdsource content / data
work?
1. WE HAVEN’T TRIED CROWDSOURCING
2. HAVE EXPERIMENTED WITH CROWDSOURCING
3. CROWDSOURCE SOME OUR WORK
4. WE HAVE MAXIMIZED OUR USE OF THE CROWD
But in most businesses, there are walls between these resources.
AUTOMATION CROWDS EMPLOYEES
POLL: True or false….
“Our automation tools, distributed workers and subject matter experts are not
integrated into the same workflows.”
1. TRUE
2. FALSE
Crowd computing combines these three resources in the
cloud.

So how did the crowd computing approach make 40,000 “tear sheets”
more profitable?
X 40,000
Crowd computing increased automation, reduced headcount, and cut production
time.

BPO could never deliver these results.
We’ve built a software platform that creates and manages a hybrid workforce to create
content.
Many of the leaders in the financial content industry are using it.
