Staff cloud is a massively distributed model of work production and staffing available within the cloud computing paradigm. In the Staff Cloud paradigm, work that is traditionally dependent on local offices, local talent pools, and local networks is shifted or extended to be accessible and deliverable via the Internet. Work production migrates to areas where better talent can deliver better results at lower cost.
StaffCloud applications use massive peer-to-peer clusters of superior talent that deliver work through data centers and powerful servers that host web applications and web services. They can be accessed by any organization with a suitable Internet connection and a standard web browser.
In the ‘Staff’ paradigm, an organization has full and part time staff. In the ‘Staff Cloud’ paradigm an organization has fewer local staff and a mix of work services (payroll, human resources, marketing, sales, accounting, R & D) from the available ‘Staff Cloud’.

Famous quotes containing the words staff and/or cloud:
“We achieve “active” mastery over illness and death by delegating all responsibility for their management to physicians, and by exiling the sick and the dying to hospitals. But hospitals serve the convenience of staff not patients: we cannot be properly ill in a hospital, nor die in one decently; we can do so only among those who love and value us. The result is the institutionalized dehumanization of the ill, characteristic of our age.”
—Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)
“The sea was wet as wet could be,
The sands were dry as dry.
You could not see a cloud, because
No cloud was in the sky:
No birds were flying overhead—
There were no birds to fly.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
