We celebrated World Animal Day at ASSIST Software

We are happy when we can mark important days such as World Animal Day together by showing kindness and care.  

For the third year in a row, we organized a fundraising event to aid the rescued dogs from the ”His house Patroclus” (Casa lui Patrocle) shelter in Dărmănești, Suceava. This year, we were fortunate that we were able to visit and play with the dogs, which we missed out on last year due to the current health situation. We did the same in 2019 when we brought all our donations in person

This year, we raised 4000 lei together, some of it coming from employee donations and the rest covered by company funds. The money allowed us to buy a large quantity of dry and canned food, several dozen blankets, and hygiene products as well as various small treats to mark the event.  

Although our efforts surely made a difference, we encourage all those who have the possibility of donating to try and help the animals at ”His house Patroclus”. The dogs housed there are not just strays taken off the streets. Most of them are, in fact, rescues with heartbreaking stories of abuse or abandonment who are waiting to be adopted by loving families from Romania or abroad.  

Those who want to take on the challenge of bringing home a special needs companion must know that all the dogs from ”His house Patroclus” are fully able to be adopted and that, despite their stories, they are gentle with humans, happy to be around people and full of energy. 

If you are interested in adopting a dog or donating money/supplies, the animal rescue NGO can be reached via social media or their website. All donations will be greatly appreciated, especially now, on the eve of winter, when the costs of bills and supplies will skyrocket due to the cold season.  

We will not cease to try to make our furry friends happy and we thank all those who teamed up with us for the good of the animals.

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.
