On the 15th of November 2019, ASSIST Software took part in an event organized by Andrei Gafița, the national 50 km race walking runner-up that our company proudly sponsors in his national and international competitions. 

The event, which took place at the "Ion Creangă" High School in Suceava, was born out of a desire to promote the importance of playing sports in schools.

At the start of the "First steps in performance sport" event, Andrei talked to the students about the benefits of taking up a performance sport, what it means to be an athlete, and what challenges you can encounter in this type of career. 

In the second part of the event, Andrei Gafita along with Daniel Ceobanu – the P.E. teacher at the school, organized a running competition in the sports hall. After this, Andrei introduced the students to the secrets of race walking and practiced race walking techniques with them. 

At the end of the event, after two hours filled with enthusiasm and curiosity, the students were rewarded with diplomas and prizes from ASSIST Software.

We are convinced that Andrei's "First steps in performance sport" initiative inspired the students to pursue their passion for sports and helped them to understand the importance of adopting an active lifestyle.

We offer our sincere thanks to the teachers at the "Ion Creangă" High School for supporting this wonderful initiative!

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.
