Techopedia Explains Cloudsourcing

Cloudsourcing is a similar trend to outsourcing where an organization outsources some or all of its business processes to a third-party vendor, except that in outsourcing, the company deploys, hosts and executes a complete or vertical IT solution onto a public or private cloud provider. With the advent in cloud computing and the increasing flexibility of different products and services offered under this technology, it’s easier to provide a cloud as a service solution, which breaks many of the previous barriers in terms of cost, platform interoperability and scalability.
