Workforce
Image Credit: Seeker
We humans
have a gift for
productivity.
The Great Wall of China is the
longest structure (6300
kilometres ≈ 3915 miles) ever
built by humans. It took more
than 2 Million workers to
complete this project.

done.

In 1900, 42% of people in
America were farmers.
Today, less than 2% are
farmers and yet those 2%
produce more food than
when 42% of the
population farmed.

The rapid advancement and
adoption of technology has
radically transformed how
we get work done.

The digital revolution has
transformed the world of media,
upending centuries-old companies
and business models. Now, it is
restructuring every business, every
job, and every sector of society.
No company, no job is
immune to disruption. Every
industry and every
organization will have to
transform itself in the next
few years.

In the on-demand model,
you can source the person
or group best suited to
your task based on
expertise, location or
availability.
On-Demand Work
● Pay-per-use
● Multi-tenant
● Near-immediacy
● Scalable
● Elastic, to meet growing
and waning demand

Airbnb connects homeowners with
travelers. Owners rent their spaces
and travelers find lodging that’s
more suited to their personal and
travel needs.

People shop for and deliver
groceries with Instacart. Place your
order and your choices can be
delivered to your front door in as
little as an hour.

TaskRabbit connects people in
select cities with area workers who
perform household repairs, clean,
shop, deliver, help with a move, and
more.
The On-Demand Workforce
A Phenomenon With Many Names
Gig Economy
Workers pursue work that matches
their interests, location or availability.
They choose multiple streams of
income over the traditional single,
full-time job.
Sharing Economy
People, companies and governments
share access to goods and services
using community-based online
platforms.
Workforce Virtualization
Companies extend their capabilities
by tapping talented workers from
down the street or across the globe
without the burden of hiring, training
and retaining them.
Platform Economy
Businesses use cloud-based
platforms, smartphone apps and
social networks to manage business
activities. The supervisor is not a mid-
level manager but a software
platform.
B2B On-Demand Labor Model
As the consumer service model has
grown and matured, enterprise
companies have used its services.
Business travelers use Uber to catch a
ride to the airport and AirBnB to find
lodging, making travel more affordable
in the process.
Image Credit: ZDNet
New B2B on-demand models are
emerging. From sales & marketing to
product engineering, HR to operations,
businesses are using on-demand
workforces & platforms to scale faster
and smarter than ever, gaining a
competitive advantage in the process.
K E Y C H A N G E S
On-Demand vs. Old Economy
Work is done by intelligent software
platforms in partnership with people.
Technology-enabled networks can deploy
talent more cost-efficiently than traditional
companies.
A growing number of companies, particularly
global enterprise and local startups, are using
on-demand workforces as their strategic,
often secret, competitive advantage to scale
smarter by reducing risk and controlling costs.
Hiring on-demand is the new way
of getting work done. You might
be playing catch-up later if you
don’t participate now. Learn how
businesses are leveraging the
on-demand economy as a
strategic competitive advantage.

CloudFactory is on a mission to change
how the world works. We’re using
technology to make it easy and affordable
for startups and fast-growing businesses to
automate and outsource routine, tedious
work.
On a two week vacation in Nepal,
CloudFactory Founder and CEO Mark
Sears was inspired to create opportunities
for people he met there who had to travel
days away from their families to get paid
work. One man he met had moved 2,100
miles away to provide for his wife and two
children. Today, CloudFactory connects
people in the developing world to paid
work opportunities, leadership training,
and the global economy.
Its delivery data centers in Nepal and
Kenya provide local people with digital-
age work, training, and empowerment to
become leaders who can address poverty
in their own communities. Their
employees work for some of the most
innovative tech companies on the planet.
Customers can engage CloudFactory’s
on-demand workforce in one of three
ways: by project, by people, or by
business process.
