As a partner in the VALUMICS project consortium, ASSIST Software is inviting you to join the webinar entitled “Putting Solutions on the Table: Successful Approaches and Interventions to Support More Sustainable Food Consumption Behaviors in the EU”, which will be held online on 16 July 2020, at 15:00.

Make a difference for the future of food consumption and register for the webinarhttps://valumics.eu/sign-up/events/

The VALUMICS project is a Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation project that addresses specific challenges the food system and food value chains in Europe are currently facing. VALUMICS stands for value chain dynamics and the aim of the project is to evaluate the impact of policy on food value chains. 

During the webinar, specialists in the field will share valuable insights gained from hands-on, behaviorally-informed pilot interventions and strategies suitable for the food industry and policy makers, in order to drive more sustainable food consumption practices.

By attending the webinar, you will gain knowledge of food consumption behavior patterns in the EU and of solutions towards more sustainable food consumption, such as supporting the increase of plant-based products in people’s diets.  

ASSIST Software’s role in the VALUMICS project is to build an integrated dynamic simulation model and quantitatively test the generated model, in order to gain insight into the drivers and outcomes of behavior within food value networks.

The Valumics Project is co-funded by the Horizon 2020 program of the European Union and submitted under H2020-SFS-2016-2017 call Innovation Action, on-topic SFS-33-2016 with the project 727243-2.

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.
