Outsourcing various programming functions has become a popular trend in the business world primarily due to the costs savings that they believe that they will be able to capture. However, there is some debate about the actual cost savings that may be earned through this strategy. While a programmer in the Philippines may be paid an equivalent or as little as six to twelve thousand U.S. dollars per year for their work, the average costs of an outsourced project are projected by some estimates to be less than fifteen percent on average. Although the staff and human resources expenses may be significantly reduced through outsourcing different project functions, by using this format there are many additional costs that are necessary given the distance and technical or cultural barriers that must be overcome.

Criminal Justice System – Most Important Change Needed According to my research of Criminal Justice websites, journal articles and books, perhaps the most needed improvement is the System's institutionalized assistance in breaking the cycle of substance abuse in America. On a daily basis, all levels of the Criminal Justice System must deal with either substance abuse charges or related problems such as thefts committed to obtain drug money, domestic abuse by drug abusers and probation violations by failed drug tests. As a result, the System is forced to deal with the significant impact of drug abuse in the United States. It appears that Criminal Justice experts are determined to break the cycle of substance abuse in our Nation in order to handle all the drug/alcohol-related problems faced by the System. Through decades of intelligent observation and practice, the System is gradually realizing that merely punishing substance abuse offenders is an ineffective method of dealing with the substance abuse cycle. Consequently, the System must pay closer attention to the science of addiction and institutionalize methods of dealing with addiction throughout the System. First, the System should require system-wide continuing education of judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys, police, probation officers and all other members of the Criminal Justice System about the science of addiction. Secondly, the educators and the members of the Criminal Justice System should work together for a statewide or even nationwide plan to determine: what roles each member of the Criminal Justice System should play in dealing with addiction, according to his/her job in the System; what information must be gathered to decide whether a person suffers from addiction; the earliest/best times to screen people who come into contact with the System; all the possible alternatives for dealing with screened people, depending on their assessment results. Third, these decisions should be used to design effective System-wide: alternative programs for dealing with addiction; screening and assessment in order to decide which people should be merely prosecuted and which people need alternatives such as substance abuse treatment. Fourth, the System needs to empower and encourage all members of the Criminal Justice System to use effective alternatives to sentencing. Fifth, the System needs to empower and encourage all members of the Criminal Justice System to supervise people being helped by those alternatives, using the power of their positions to encourage each person's cooperation. By adopting a System-wide approach to substance abuse, the Criminal Justice System can more effectively and ultimately inexpensively deal with our rampant drug/alcohol-related criminal problems.
