ASSIST Software's greening activity on Via Transilvanica

Environmental care has always been a defining characteristic of ASSIST Software. Through regular ecological cleanup activities and sustainability measures, we aspire to the title of an eco-friendly company. Our environmental cleanup initiatives began many years ago, but as our team has grown, we have engaged in larger, more impactful projects for the community and the surroundings.  

In 2021, we became "foster parents" of a segment of the Via Transilvanica trail. Through this commitment, we promised to keep the trail clean and accessible for tourists. Every year, a team of volunteers from ASSIST Software walks every kilometer of this segment to ensure the path is practicable and in good condition.  

ViaTransilvanica- "The Road that Unites"

Via Transilvanica is Romania's longest endurance hiking trail, lengthening 1420 kilometers from Putna Monastery to Turnu Severin. This trail crosses ten counties and over 400 communities, capturing Romania's cultural diversity and authenticity.  

Out of this total, we adopted a 16-kilometer section of Via Transilvanica between Vatra Moldoviței and Lake Iezer in Sadova, in the Bukovina region. Since then, we have ensured the trail remains clean and accessible for tourists through annual cleanup actions. Our latest effort occurred on May 19th, when a dedicated team of twenty ASSIST Software volunteers participated in the "Good Day" greening campaign on Via Transilvanica. They successfully cleansed sixteen posts and collected approximately 1000 L of waste,  affirming our ongoing responsibility to maintain this beautiful hiking trail.

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.
