1. Introduction

ASSIST Software has organized a new edition of the Open Doors ASSIST event, on the 8th of May 2018, at Petru Rareș National College from Suceava, which is considered the first college in the ranking of high schools in the county. Although we have organized such events so far, this was for us a new and pleasant experience because this time we presented in front of over 150 high school students. 

This event was born from our desire to discover and understand young minds and also from our wish to share and present interesting IT perspectives. So, for more than five hours we enjoyed the presence of tens of attendees who interacted with the ASSIST team and participated with enthusiasm in the presentations delivered by our colleagues.

2. Interactive and innovative presentations

Our journey was planned in two stages so, from 10:00 to 12:00, our colleagues Gabriel Tironeac – Head of Game Development and Alexandru Boca – Head of Mobile Development, presented two themes: Gaming behind the scenes and Coding for Sport Stars which were very appreciated by the students and from 14:00 to 16:00 another two colleagues: Petru Cioată - Head of Ruby Development and Adrian Onu - COO presented the themes entitled: Voice Interfaces in Everyday Life and Cyber(In)security: Hacking Stories which also aroused curiosity and interest. 


3. YouTube contest for the Open Doors ASSIST participants

We also wanted to create and maintain a nice and entertaining atmosphere so, within this event, we organized a YouTube contest with prizes where the students were supposed to scan our site QR code, enroll in the contest and then subscribe to our YouTube channel. So, at the end of every stage of our event, we announced the big winner of the prize-winning raffle. The awards consisted of two On-Ear Philips Bluetooth Headset and have been won by two lucky girls who participated in the contest.

4. Our thoughts on Open Doors ASSIST at Petru Rareș National College in Suceava

As a general note, we think that Open Doors ASSIST was a real success and one of the main factors that contributed to this was the curious audience, which pushed us to be better and to offer them an interesting but also entertaining experience. We tried to convey to them the team effort of putting together a project and then step by step taking it to the next level. We also tried to give the students a short break, while checking out our projects, by offering them cakes, crackers, candy, and drinks, and we like to think that we managed to create and maintain a warm, relaxing atmosphere.


5. Special thanks to our partner

We hope that our initiative was well received and also appreciated by the students. Also, we are grateful to the high school director who supported our idea and made it happen. 
It will always be a great pleasure coming back to Petru Rareș National College from Suceava.

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.
