CloudForcing

As technology progresses there is more and more automation in our daily lives and in our businesses. However, there are some tasks a computer is just not suited to perform. Amazon has introduced Artificial Artificial Intelligence, or Mechanical Turk.

Mechanical Turk is an extremely affordable solution that allows you to leverage a very large Cloud-based workforce, or “Cloud Force” that is 400,00 people strong and growing daily. This Cloud Force can perform tasks to help retail companies identify if a shirt in a picture is green or blue. They can be used to verify information, confirm a duplicate, or transcribe an audio file.

With Mechanical Turk’s robust API, we can help you understand it’s power and how to best utilize the offering to meet your business needs. When you are Cloud Forcing there are unique business advantages and challenges.  We can help you leverage this exciting approach and apply best practices to help ensure success.

Data Transcription Example

For CardLasso, Model Metrics’ business card contact management system, images of business cards are sent to AWS’s Cloud workforce for transcription of the contact data.  

Within minutes the image is transformed into usable data and imported into the user’s Salesforce CRM org.
