TEDx Areni Women

At ASSIST Software, we believe in the strong power of community collaboration. Our commitment to initiatives that inspire growth and positive change resonates with our culture. Among the impactful projects we partner with annually is TEDxAreni, an educational event affiliated with the globally recognized TEDx brand. 

From the first edition onward, ASSIST Software has stood as the leading partner of TEDxAreni, aligning our values with the event's goal to provide knowledge, empowerment, and innovation. Our partnership reflects a shared dedication to promoting the principles defining the Suceava community as we evolve. 

ASSIST Software supports the ongoing conversation about equity and women's strengths through internal endeavours and sponsoring events such as TEDxAreni Women: Two Steps Forward. Now, let's delve into some insightful speeches at this event.  

  • Laura Coman: Unveiling the Power of Listening  

In her TED Talk, Laura highlighted the essential role of tolerance and patience in an era of dispersed attention. She argued that genuine attention requires entire presence and recognition of the moments when focus wavers. According to Laura, understanding our emotions is pivotal to self-discovery. She motivated the audience to embrace curiosity, pushing the boundaries of preconceptions for a more profound understanding of ourselves and others.

Anamaria led us through the profound concepts of freedom, empathy, courage, and the importance of living in the present. She underscored the fragility of freedom, drawing insights from different countries, as she urged us to cherish and utilize our liberties. Anamaria emphasized the pivotal role of the youth in shaping the future through their present actions.

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.
