Introduction

Last week, on 10th of August 2018, ASSIST Software's Biking Club along with other groups of cyclists, volunteered to welcome and sustain a supportive charity campaign named CONTOUR 100, for the children with autism in Romania. 
This charity campaign has been represented by four courageous cyclists from CONTOUR 100 national project who decided to spread autism awareness among all Romanians. Therefore, ASSIST Software's Biking Club and other volunteers welcomed the four ambassadors of autistic children from Adâncata, which is near the city until the Shopping City Suceava parking lot.

How it was

Although it was a windy hot day, the activities meant to inform, increase awareness and raise funds were a success. We were glad to see that a lot of parents and kids were interested in finding out more about autistic children and their situation. 
Due to a well-established program, many of the representatives of this event or even volunteers exposed their thoughts and desires in front of the microphone sustaining this cause and bringing awareness towards people. 
Also, a representative of the County Police Inspectorate sustained in front of everyone the importance of caring and being aware of this delicate situation. Moreover, they could not overlook topics of interest for parents and children about road legislation, protective measures when riding a bike and the most important, how can parents protect their children from bike accidents.

Activites

The parking of Shopping City Suceava also hosted a lot of special, fun activities for children like basketball, football, a trampoline and a lot of other surprises. Besides the multitude of activities meant to inform and teach all the people about the autism situation and how to foster community integration, one of the main organizers „Help Autism Association” had given information and raised funds for the kids in need by selling lemonade.
All this time, the atmosphere was maintained by two representatives of the local radio station Viva FM Suceava who had a live transmission during the whole event. So, in this way, all the people who couldn't reach this event had the chance to be informed, to donate and do something for the children with autism. 
At the end of the event, starting from Shopping City Suceava parking lot, all the bikers surrounded by cheers and applause were escorted by a police car, in a Bicycle parade to Suceava House of Culture.

Sincere thanks

We are happy to see that this event has not been overlooked by people and was a success although it was at its first edition. 
Moreover, in the name of ASSIST Software and ASSIST Biking Club, we would like to offer our sincere thanks to Shopping City Suceava and Help Autism Suceava, the main organizers of this memorable event. We give our special thanks also to Suceava on Bike, Vee Tire, Carrefour, Decathlon, Bar Show, Bucovina “I.G. Sbiera” Library, and Special Needs Parents Association. We truly hope that this event will not be the last one of this type and we are looking forward to participating in the next one.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is ASSIST Software's development process?  

The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) we employ defines the following stages for a software project. Our SDLC phases include planning, requirement gathering, product design, development, testing, deployment, and maintenance.

2. What software development methodology does ASSIST Software use?  

ASSIST Software primarily leverages Agile principles for flexibility and adaptability. This means we break down projects into smaller, manageable sprints, allowing continuous feedback and iteration throughout the development cycle. We also incorporate elements from other methodologies to increase efficiency as needed. For example, we use Scrum for project roles and collaboration, and Kanban boards to see workflow and manage tasks. As per the Waterfall approach, we emphasize precise planning and documentation during the initial stages.

3. I'm considering a custom application. Should I focus on a desktop, mobile or web app?  

We can offer software consultancy services to determine the type of software you need based on your specific requirements. Please explore what type of app development would suit your custom build product.   

  • A web application runs on a web browser and is accessible from any device with an internet connection. (e.g., online store, social media platform)   
  • Mobile app developers design applications mainly for smartphones and tablets, such as games and productivity tools. However, they can be extended to other devices, such as smartwatches.    
  • Desktop applications are installed directly on a computer (e.g., photo editing software, word processors).   
  • Enterprise software manages complex business functions within an organization (e.g., Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)).

4. My software product is complex. Are you familiar with the Scaled Agile methodology?

We have been in the software engineering industry for 30 years. During this time, we have worked on bespoke software that needed creative thinking, innovation, and customized solutions. 

Scaled Agile refers to frameworks and practices that help large organizations adopt Agile methodologies. Traditional Agile is designed for small, self-organizing teams. Scaled Agile addresses the challenges of implementing Agile across multiple teams working on complex projects.  

SAFe provides a structured approach for aligning teams, coordinating work, and delivering value at scale. It focuses on collaboration, communication, and continuous delivery for optimal custom software development services. 

5. How do I choose the best collaboration model with ASSIST Software?  

We offer flexible models. Think about your project and see which models would be right for you.   

  • Dedicated Team: Ideal for complex, long-term projects requiring high continuity and collaboration.   
  • Team Augmentation: Perfect for short-term projects or existing teams needing additional expertise.   
  • Project-Based Model: Best for well-defined projects with clear deliverables and a fixed budget.   

Contact us to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each model.
