Has 8K Miles Found A Unique Niche In Online Outsourcing?

At first blush, 8K Miles appears like any other IT contractor marketplace on the Web (eLance, oDesk, etc.). But, according to executive vice president Prabhu Karunakaran, what sets 8K Miles apart is that customers can find contractors and cloud-based pay-as-you go infrastructure (servers, storage) under on roof. Where did 8K turn to for the cloud infrastructure stuff it's reselling? Where else? Amazon's EC2.

Great video. But I'm not sure Prabhu effectively answered David's question about 8k miles being different from oDesk, Elance etc. He responds by saying the site is focused on the Small business market, but so are most of his competitors.

Yes, 8k miles offer SaaS solutions unlike others, but I don't think an SME necessarily needs a single marketplace to provide both services!? Commission is good though, at 7%.
