Lornit has just launched POS Malta – a point of sale system designed for the small to medium businesses in Malta. Lornit has been supplying the retail industry with specific software tools since 2010. Now the company decided to put in all the expertise, know how and its extensive software library into one single product that can be deployed within minutes, is very easy to use and also benefits from the cloud based technology developed by Lornit.

POS Malta – was the name chosen for this product as it aims to cater for Maltese specific fiscal and reporting requirements.

As a programmer myself I do realise that most people don’t understand what we do, but i’ve been doing for so long that it doesn’t bother me at all. How do you explain a day’s work worth of source code (the product of the programmer) to your wife or a friend? (Unless he or she is a programmer too). Software development is very difficult to quantify, evaluate or measure for the average person. If it were construction, people could see bits and pieces being added to a building until its complete. It is comprehensible, it is visible…

… But software is different. All you see at best is a user interface, a report or a dashboard. Features that may catch your eye if you are interested but most of the work, goes unnoticed and even unappreciated. What the consumer can see is just the proverbial “tip of the iceberg”.

And it is true as well that programmers, fix problems much before “users” start using the software; actually problem solving starts even before one starts coding and it never last till support stops for that particular piece of work.

So thinking about it, a good measure of the value of a programmers’ work is the problems that you as a consumer don’t have.. which roughly translates into “how long can you use the application/product without a finding a problem?”

]]> In our day there is a time when we are bright and full of energy and ideas, there are other times when we are tired and slow and there are those times in between. I’m refering to jobs like ours (software development ofcourse!) that require some form of thinking but this can apply to other jobs as well.

There are what we can call the creative hours; those couple of hours of peace and illumination where we’re really top notch. Our mind is clear, no issues are clouding our mental machinery. We’re not hungry, we’re not lonely, we’re not tired. We’re typically so much at peace with ourselves that we seem to be tapping the ether for creative and brilliant ideas. These are the most productive hours by far. Not because we can do a lot of work in that short period of trance, but because we can come up with ideas/solutions that can effect the way we’re working or the direction or our work. For example we might come up with a solution that will save us 100 hours in one such hour. Such an hour is than worth as much as 100 hours of work. These are the hours we like, but unfortunately we can only get a few of those in our working week.

The productive hours. These are the hours in which we’re bright, efficient and profitable. Typically we’re fully concentrated, fully focused, almost hyped up on our task at hand and we deliver. We deliver a lot. We solve problems, we find solutions and most importantly we create value. Most of us can manage from 2 to 6 of these hours per day and those having over 6 productive hours a day will be the most productive people in any organisation. Some people can manage more than that but they’re not very common.

The low hours. These are the hours here and there in our day in which we cannot really focus properly on the task at hand. For example: when we’re manning a telephone, when we’re supporting customers, during and after meetings, after a heavy lunch, after a traffic jam, in the late hours of the day or at a busy office. We’re working but we’re not really thinking. Some work maybe coming out, but its because we know it by heart, we cannot do anything original. These are our worst hours in terms of efficiency.

As an organisation that focuses on creativity to meet our customer’s expectations, as a team we’re after the creative hours and the productive hours. Knowing that we’re all able to identify and dedicate the most productive hours in our day to our work, we give ourselves the flexibility to adapt our own schedule to the task at hand. This is what works for us!

Dr. Albert Einstein

• S – Specific
• M – Measurable
• A – Achievable
• R – Realistic
• T – Time Bound

Smart objectives is what we normally try to (or should try to) define before we commit to delivering a project. That’s the theory.

However through experience we also realise that certain projects of customers in our local market are more “learn as you go” type and customers are sometimes content to take us in on a project even though they’re not really clear about the objectives. Then it is up to mutual trust and understanding that we build IT solutions from the bottom up defining and achieving small targets at a time.
