In a recession, IT tools can increase efficiency the most

Thanks to the rapid reaction of the IT sector, innovations that are able to make the most efficient use of the shrinking resources of companies in the difficult business environment are emerging in the crisis at lightning speed.

Such tools include telecommuting and cloud-based applications, or a new solution created from a combination of the two, crowdsourcing, which is about to explode.

In the case of crowdsourcing, the work is done from home, via the Internet, in the free time of the employees, their commitment is to perform a total of one subtask. For the employer, the distribution, issuance of tasks and the complexity of quality assurance may remain hidden, as there are already companies in Hungary that supply efficient, turnkey solutions.

"It's more than just teleworking: crowdsourcing allows you to perform a large number of tasks that can be parallelized well, but that definitely require human intelligence." - says Balázs Benedek, the leading developer of Otthonrol.hu, the largest crowdsourcing network in Central Europe, who will talk more about the possibilities of increasing corporate efficiency resulting from the method at the ICT Day conference on February 8.

The extreme efficiency of crowdsourcing is made possible by the complete automation of work, from the division of labor, to the coordination of thousands of employees working from home, to ensuring the quality of work. Thanks to this, the automated crowsourcing system is able to type 100 questionnaires in one day, have a capacity of one million characters per hour, and generally perform a week of work in as little as one night.

The range of applications is constantly expanding, although they are already very wide. This productive way of working is already being used successfully for typing and digitizing handwritten forms, conducting telephone research, data cleansing, database building or call-center and customer service tasks that have come to the fore in the meantime as a result of the crisis. image processing of surveillance cameras that requires human intelligence.

Due to the compulsion of enterprises to increase efficiency for years, outsourcing of certain activities, especially tasks involving significant live labor, is becoming more and more important. However, while many companies are still exploring the potential of teleworking, crowdsourcing, a form of outsourcing that incorporates and enhances teleworking, is facing a major breakthrough as the number of skilled jobseekers, even those with multiple degrees, continues to grow. You can mobilize these people more efficiently than ever before with the Otthonrol.hu solution, by breaking up tasks, organizing them into a system, and with the help of a reliable IT solution working in the background.

The system can accommodate an almost unlimited amount of work and perform it efficiently, as more than 5,5 million people in Hungary use the Internet on a daily basis, so we can only imagine the multimillion-dollar crowd who can work in front of their computers worldwide. they are waiting.
