Embracing Innovation: A Glimpse into ASSIST Software's Journey at DIGITAL X 2023

We are thrilled to share our exciting presence at DIGITAL X 2023 in Köln, Germany!  

This two-day extravaganza, held on September 20 and 21, 2023, transformed Köln into a bustling hub of innovation and future technologies. With 6 stages, 250 speakers, and 300 partners, the event welcomed around 50,000 visitors, creating an electrifying atmosphere of creativity and knowledge exchange

Some of ASSIST Software's passionate team members actively participated in workshops, exploring the latest technological advancements and engaging with fellow technology enthusiasts. Their expertise added to the event's vibrant atmosphere, showcasing our commitment to staying at the forefront of digital innovation

The opportunity to meet with our esteemed partners, T-Systems, the visionary organizers behind this groundbreaking event, was even more thrilling. Amidst these discussions and innovative sessions, our team was privileged to strengthen our collaborative spirit with T-Systems. Together, we explored the forefront of innovation alongside renowned figures like George Clooney, Amy Webb, and Björn Ulvaeus. Under the slogan "Be digital. Stay human", the event delved deep into current technological developments and megatrends. Topics such as connected business, the future of work, security, sustainability, and responsibility were explored. The central question revolved around reconciling the benefits of technology with our humanity in a society undergoing rapid change. 

"Digitization is more than technology. Digitization needs people. This is exactly where our initiative comes in - we want to inspire and demonstrate the opportunities in a practical way," says Hagen Rickmann, patron of DIGITAL X and head of Telekom Deutschland's business customer division. "DIGITAL X sees itself as a platform that accompanies companies in every industry on the path to digitization. The focus is sharing the steps and experiences on the path to transformation - whether as a newcomer or digital pioneer." 

We are grateful to everyone who contributed their ideas, knowledge, and enthusiasm. Their participation was invaluable in shaping a sustainable, digital, and innovative future. We are proud we had the chance to participate in this event. We are thankful for this unique experience and all the information we assimilated there. It most definitely offered a different perspective that will help our company in future projects.

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.
