Introduction
 

On the 8th of August 2020, ASSIST Software participated in one of the most anticipated trail running competitions of the year – Bucovina Ultra Rocks. 

The competition was organized by ULTRA LIFE Sport Club and Sport Management Events in Câmpulung Moldovenesc and included 5 races: 105 km, 87 km, 48 km, 30 km, and 17 km races on routes that reached the Rarău, Giumalău, and Pietrosu Bistriței peaks. As you can see, the competition was designed to attract a large variety of runners, from beginners who wanted to get a taste of trail running to advanced runners ready to take on the mountains. 
 

How it went
 

The competition had a great start, and we had the weather on our side. The first race and the most challenging one – the Ultra Rocks 105k - started at 00:00 on August 8th from the Runc ski slope in Câmpulung Moldovenesc, followed by the 4 Summits 87k, Lady’s Rocks 43k, Rocky 30k and finishing with the shortest race – the Rumble Rock 17k fueled by ASSIST.  

ASSIST Software sponsored the Rumble Rock fueled by ASSIST 17k race. We actively encourage and promote healthy habits and an active lifestyle,  thus we are extremely proud of our 14 colleagues who took up the challenge and competed in three of the races: the 48k, 30k, and 17k races. All the hours spent training paid off for the runners as they got the chance to run in the picturesque lands of Bucovina and pass the finish line. 

With the participation at Bucovina Ultra Rocks, ASSIST Software took another step on its mission to help the community grow, by encouraging an active lifestyle.  

All the races ended on a positive note, and the competition was a real success all thanks to the reliability of the local partners and their willingness to promote our beautiful country and the spectacular zone in which the competition took place.

The organizers made sure that all the safety regulations were respected,  and that all of the routes were thoroughly marked so no runner got lost. 

We think we achieved our goal of bringing together sports lovers, offering them the experience of a lifetime, and letting them discover the beauty of Bucovina

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.
