.We are proud to announce that ASSIST Software has started a collaboration with ANIS, the only employers’ organization that has been contributing to the development of the Romanian software and services industry for approximately 23 years....

The organization is a member of the Digital Europe association and of the Concordia Employers’ Confederation.  Its main purpose has been and still is to actively contribute to the Romanian technology industry and represent the economic and political interests of the IT companies. 

Apart from having a passion for innovation and technology, we also share the same values and goals as ANIS.  Advocating for the development of the education system and community, the digitalization of society and the development of the IT industry are just a few of the goals that we are committed to.

"We are happy that ASSIST Software has joined the ANIS community, which consists of 150 IT companies from Romania. Though this is a recent partnership, the two organizations have in fact been collaborating since 2017, with ANIS contributing the ISTQB instruction and certification of ASSIST Software specialists. 

Moreover, through the European-funded project – TechTalent Growth, conducted by ANIS this past year, the association has helped ASSIST Software employees improve in the DevOps domain.

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.
