1. Introduction
To honor World Blood Donor Day and raise awareness about the blood crisis facing Romanian hospitals, ASSIST Sofware in partnership with the local blood transfusion center, is organizing a blood donation campaign. 
The  "Ai sânge de salvator? Fii #MândruDonator!" campaign will take place between the 10th and 14th of June 2019 at the blood transfusion center in Suceava (Centrul Județean de Transfuzie Sanguină Suceava) and is targeted to anyone that complies with the donating description that can be read here.
2. “Heroes come in all types and sizes.”
The idea to organize a blood donation campaign came from some of our colleagues who are devoted blood donors. They explained the importance of blood donation, its benefits and also the fact that one unit of blood can save at least three lives, an impressive fact that left us speechless.  

They inspired us and taught us about the importance of solidarity between people and care for one another. We learned that anyone could be a hero just by being responsible and taking action.
3. The benefits of donating blood
It seems like saving three lives isn’t the only reward for donating blood. Some studies have shown that donating blood regularly lowers the risk of heart diseases and heart attacks reduces stress, improves emotional well-being and provides a sense of belonging. That sounds good, doesn’t it?
But that is not all! When you donate blood, you get free blood testing, a paid day off from work and food vouchers.
4. Join our campaign!
As we mentioned before, everyone is invited to join our cause and take part in this action. We believe in the power of our local community and we all benefit from/depend on its contribution to this cause. 
According to the National Institute of Haematology, one in ten patients in hospitals in Romania need a blood transfusion and sadly only 1.7% of Romanians are on the list of blood donors. This is a very small percentage compared to other European countries where the percentage reaches up to 10% - Denmark, 9% - the UK and 8% - Holland. Because of this, many surgical interventions are postponed and many patients cannot receive the necessary medical care. 
Sadly, this is a silent crisis, so we want to do what we can to spread awareness about this issue and encourage blood donation.  We must realize that we need to be united and take action in order to resolve this crisis. By taking part in this campaign, we can make a difference by helping those in need.
5. Be a drop in someone's ocean
At ASSIST, we believe that we have a common purpose: to improve daily, to make each other proud, and to support the local community. We are a local company, we owe everything to the community we were born in and we believe we should do our best to give back. We hope that this campaign will inspire people to get involved and show solidarity for those in need. 
Donate blood! Save Lives!

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.
