Yes, this can be true. The two types of crowdsourcing it is most true for is open innovation and microtasking. Open innovation is where you can run a contest and allow people to compete to give you the best result (example: The X-Prize). Microtasking which is usually a paid service allows you to break up large tasks and outsource them to the crowd (example: Mturk or CrowdFlower). Both methods often yield quick results.
