Running is one of the most popular sports worldwide, especially for competitions. This sport is affordable, it can be enjoyed by children and adults, and it is a great choice for people who want to improve health and spend more time outdoors. Passion and ambition are two of the main reasons why most people choose to participate in these types of events. Charitable running competitions are ideal for teams looking for ways to get their members involved with their community and the causes they support. Moreover, it gives people something new and exciting to look forward to and work towards!

If you love running, the Suceava Fortress Marathon (Maratonul Cetății Suceava) is the perfect opportunity to get active and contribute to a charitable cause. The sporting event held annually in Suceava brings together many participants of different ages and training levels. Not only that but running in this charity competition helps raise awareness and money for causes you care about.

ASSIST Software supports the Suceava Fortress Marathon

One of the defining elements of ASSIST Software’s company culture is sports. Over the years, we've never missed an opportunity to exercise and push our limits in competitions. Our enthusiasm is even more significant when it comes to charitable sporting contests. The Suceava Fortress Marathon is one of the events we are thrilled to join every year as sponsors and runners. This marathon is organized by the NGO Save the Children Suceava, and the funds raised are used to support the fight against rising infant mortality rates.

This year's edition was held on 16 and 17 September. 14 of our colleagues ran as competitors. Participants could choose from the Marathon (44.79 km), Half Marathon (22.34 km), Cross Country Race (13.64 km), Popular Race (2 km), and Children's Race (400m/800m). ASSIST Software was one of the main sponsors of the Suceava Fortress Marathon and supported the Cross-Country race, which attracted 69 runners. Moreover, we donated €1 for every kilometer our colleagues ran. Thus, they managed to raise an additional donation of 245 euros through their participation.

ASSIST Software was pleased to be an official partner of this year's edition. For our community, it has already become a long-standing event in which we participate with great ambition and energy year after year. We are honored by the opportunity to support a charitable cause and give children hope for life. Congratulations to everyone who supported this cause and to those who made this event possible.

We look forward to future editions!

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.
