ASSIST Software won first prize for R&D and High-Tech at the National Top 2017-ASSIST Software Romania

ASSIST Software won first prize in the category of "Research, Development, and High-Tech - Medium-sized Enterprises", at the event Gala "National Top of Romanian Companies 2017". The excellent results achieved by the ASSIST Software team over the past year have brought us the joy of being awarded at the "National Top 2017" Gala, organized by the Romanian Chamber of Commerce and Industry on 9th of November 2017. 

After 25 years of activity, ASSIST Software is one of the most important R&D companies in Southeastern Europe, but also in the field of providing complex hardware and software solutions. After winning the prize, Daniel Tănase, managing partner of the firm, stated that: "Ranking first on a national level is a novelty for us, since this classification is national, where the selection base is much higher. This prize is very encouraging and motivating for our entire team." said Daniel Tanase.

He emphasized that one of the company's most important activities is innovation and the very good results in this field are due to the team of specialists working at ASSIST Software. "It is a very important fact that we have very young colleagues, the average being about 29 years old. We have a team of 132 specialists working for our customers, mostly from abroad. We must say that we have projects in which we are involved in modern technologies, where great expertise and innovation are needed. We work in a lot of technologically advanced projects and our young team is able to find innovative solutions. I think this is the engine of the company." Daniel Tănase said.

He noted the support that this young team receives from his colleague and associate, Gheorghe David, who is in charge of the software development department. "I want to express my gratitude towards my colleague, Gheorghe David, who is guiding and mentoring our team of specialists." Daniel Tanase said.
This is an important achievement for ASSIST Software and we believe that as long as we continue to work with passion, such rewards will continue to appear. We thank all those who have contributed to this success!

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.
