back to the Dual Education Program USV

At its core, the partnership between universities and local businesses fuels advancement, facilitating a smooth journey from theoretical education to practical implementation. In the face of the complex dynamics of the 21st century, this cooperative strategy emerges as a guiding light, charting a course toward a future where education and commerce propel innovation, prosperity, and progress. 

In a significant stride towards enhancing the local workforce and fostering collaboration between academia and industry, ASSIST Software is participating in the dual education program initiated by the "Ștefan cel Mare" University in Suceava. This collaborative effort, named "DUAL USV", aims to provide high-quality dual education to students in various technical fields.

Why is this collaboration important?
1. Skill Enhancement and Employability:

As a local economic partner, ASSIST Software is actively involved in this program alongside the "Samuil Isopescu" Technical College in Suceava. Together, they are leading courses for the "Analyst Programmer" qualification, spanning one and a half years.   

The dual education program facilitated by ASSIST Software serves as a pivotal mechanism for enhancing the skills of local students. Therefore, the community benefits from a pool of highly qualified and job-ready professionals, enhanced employability, and contributions to the local workforce's overall skill set.

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.
