Best Answer

Any software engineer that works on improving the efficiency of anything that affects the environment is playing such a role.

For example, software in cars and planes that increases the efficiency of the engine so that less fuel is necessary to travel longer distances. Software that helps mining companies search more effectively for minerals and oil can reduce the damage done to the environment.

But as much as software might play a role in reducing global warming there will be a greater effect from renewal energy sources and battery technology. So software that helps these technologies to be more efficient or aid in their adoption would also be important.

What are the benefits of outsourcing work to an offshore software development company?

Most companies outsource work to reduce spending. For software development organizations, that is no exception. The added benefit for software developers is the research is done by a dedicated IT team focused solely on the project they are given, and the results are very successful. The team receives pay for services rendered, whereas an in-house team would be salaried or receive bonuses. A well-done project completed for less money is a win-win for the company who chooses to outsource.
