For the past 30 years, ASSIST Software has supported its community and developed a culture focused on helping those in need. In doing so, we gradually observed that even the most minor action can significantly impact those who require a helping hand. This gave us the courage to start thinking about more ways to help. We started doing more.   

Whether we organized a donation drive, fundraising event, charity event, or environmental activity, we worked passionately.  

Our volunteers are ASSIST Software employees who work tirelessly on developing themselves and others. Over the years, more people joined our ranks, and we grew wings. 

"At first, I was a code hero and now with the new opportunity, I like to say I’m a world hero. Seeing how the people started to help each other in any situation made me think of 'Faith in humanity restored' - Ionuț Mîndrescu - Fundația Umanitară ASSIST Volunteer

Some examples of the charitable activities we have taken part in: 

We built The ASSIST Humanitarian Foundation (Fundația Umanitară ASSIST) to create an umbrella for all the charitable activities we participate in as a team. Together we have organized numerous activities designed to help those in need. We initialized cultural and sporting activities. We helped people suffering and focused on children with special needs whenever we could. Furthermore, we wish to continue promoting education, culture, and science

”It’s an unexplainable feeling to know that you can help somebody who truly needs it. I think we all should come back down from where we are and donate to others. It doesn’t matter how little or how much, give.” Vlad Dediță - Fundația Umanitară ASSIST Volunteer

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.
