Monday starts on Saturday: 28 years LANIT

    What is the company in which each of us works? These are, first of all, people who gathered to create, program, implement, promote. The team that you chose when you came to work, and the team that chose you. These are the technologies that we use and which we develop for the world. For some, this is a startup, for some, a young, promising, dynamic company, for some, a giant corporation. For us, this is LANIT, which turned 28 years old on October 16th. And you know, we can’t say whether it is a lot or a little. On the one hand, 28 years is experience, on the other, some of our technologies have just appeared.


    “Eighty-three percent of all days of the year begin the same way: the alarm rings.” And our departments with incredible names begin work. This is a photo of a real bench with keys in LANIT.


    “And what's the point of buying a car to drive around on asphalt? Where there is asphalt, nothing interesting, but where it is interesting, there is no asphalt. ” And where there is no asphalt, we set off on a real carpet-plane.


    “There is no one future for all.
    There are many of them, and each of your actions creates one of them ... ”The
    employees received cookies with magical predictions and quotes and collected whole fragments from them. It seems that during the celebration and preparation for it, the book was re-read a hundred times. And re-read a hundred more!


    By the way, do you know how LANIT stands for?
    LANIT - is " La laboratories of n 's marketing and nformatsionnyh t echnology", which was founded October 16, 1989.


    We even made the numbers of the years lived and worked in the context of technologies: software and engineering. A well-coordinated and complex design is everything we love.

    How the rug in the elevator started an unusual corporate event


    Arranging a celebration for several thousand programmers and engineers, and even in different offices, is not an easy task. Those who are familiar with the corporate culture in IT companies will understand us: people who are busy with work and who have no time for anything are not pleased with the usual activities such as going outdoors or cakes in the dining room. “Well, no cakes!” - We thought, sitting in the office elevator. What do you need?





    And then his gaze fell on the rug in the elevator. It so happened that every day the elevators of our office greet employees with reminders of the current day of the week. As some employees go to work on weekends, there are six such rugs: Monday through Saturday. On Sunday, everyone needs to relax. So after Saturday we have Monday immediately. Almost like the Strugatsky, Monday begins on Saturday. And this is an idea!


    "- What are you doing? - Like all science. Happiness is human. "
    Updated the sign. We think whether it is worth taking pictures after the end of the holiday.


    And now, in all offices, we launched a celebration project based on the tale, and our LANIT turned into a real NIICHAVO (although it never ceased to be).

    People came here who were more pleasant to be with each other than separately, who could not stand all sorts of Sundays, because on Sunday they were bored. Magicians, People with a capital letter, and their motto was - "Monday begins on Saturday."


    Our people not only came, but also arrived ... on festive corporate transport.

    The celebration has already started and seems to have captivated even the most gloomy and busy.


    “I have one friend. He claims that man is only an intermediate link that nature needs to create the crown of creation: a glass of cognac with a slice of lemon. ” In the meantime, tea with dryers

    Because we are the very company where people have combined their mental and physical resources in order to create solutions that really make history: for example, to develop and implement sophisticated state information systems. And all these magicians do all this. For them, the most common daily work is intellectual, and sometimes physical labor.

    By the way, if you feel the powers of the magician in yourself, then in the teamNEVER LANIT there are vacancies .


    These are the cookies with predictions that all our magicians received on the company's birthday.



    And from separate quotes, it was possible, together with colleagues, to collect a whole chapter from the Strugatsky book.

    In some units of LANIT, the question of collecting quotes was approached systemically - they saved a file in Google Docs, in which they noted all the fragments and the names of their owners.

    First of all, we strive to form a team of a high professional level - one that is able to work on almost any task. Obviously, such a team should be united, because “when there is no agreement in friends, their work will not work out in the way.” LANIT does everything for this: whoever works for us or just visited the office, knows that we are open to new employees, to dialogue, it’s cozy, stylish. But there is one important “but”: we are a team of professionals and expect the same from new employees. It is important for us that the specialists coming to LANIT already have knowledge and understand how to apply them, want to learn. And we invite the most capable interns, we give them opportunities for development and do not engage in hyper-care.




    Work at LANIT for 10-15 years and even longer! This can lead to a discussion about the fact that a person should develop, change the team, the situation, the chair ... And why can not this be done inside a huge team? Grow, learn and even move from office to office. Can! Such a long period of work in one company is easily explained:

    • the possibilities of horizontal and vertical growth are always open;
    • It is interesting to implement holistic, long-term and very large projects;
    • LANIT does not become obsolete in terms of technology - everything that appears new can be taken into service;
    • work is comfortable in every sense;
    • it is confident stability.

    Personally, I see this finger of fate - they walked through the woods and met a programmer.

    Yes, it's recursion!

    And most importantly, we support leadership and an innovative spirit in our employees. Yes, working in a team where everyone has the makings of a leader is very difficult. But just such people fit perfectly into our ambitious projects without any pathos. And so we came up with a holiday in which each of the employees will receive not only something pleasant, but also an important wish from the books of the Strugatsky.

    The seals on the shoulders doing liftoluk were out of competition.

    Among them, no one knew exactly what happiness was and what exactly was the meaning of life. And they accepted the working hypothesis that happiness is in the continuous knowledge of the unknown and the meaning of life is the same.

    Away philosophy, only figures and facts


    We went into philosophy and reasoning, although we know like no one that only figures and facts can characterize a group of companies. Therefore, we have counted them for you.

    • INSYSTEMS specialists designed a giant refrigeration center for the Vostochny spaceport: its capacity is 8.75 MW, which is comparable to the cooling system of six ice palaces or a complex of office buildings with an area of ​​about 150 thousand square meters. m
    • Customers who use Oncloud have saved 70,000,000 rubles in three years and have not bought nearly 500 high-performance servers for business applications.
    • As part of the technical re-equipment of the Roshydromet ground-based meteorological observation network, we upgraded 85 meteorological centers throughout Russia, more than 40 central and cluster radiation stations, 210 automatic stations, and supplied more than 1,600 automated meteorological sets.
    • LANIT Networking Academy trained over 350,000 people. The largest full-time study pool was 78,000 out of 84 constituent entities of the Russian Federation. These were courses for those who took part in conducting the state final certification at the examination centers. 61,000 students passed the training and successfully passed the final test.
    • We are on Habr incomplete 9 months. During this time, 1433 users of Habr positively voted for us, negatively 165, the total rating of our 36 posts is +1268, 1474 comments were left for our articles, 2126 times were added to Favorites, and we got 426 247 views. And everything is just beginning!

    We want everything to be immediately explained rationally, that is, reduced to a handful of already known facts. And neither of us is a penny of dialectics. It does not occur to anyone that a sea of ​​the unknown may lie between known facts and some new phenomenon, and then we declare the new phenomenon supernatural and, therefore, impossible.

    28 years ago, we at LANIT tried to imagine what the new technological world would be like, but even the wildest fantasies were not in the top ten. We live in an era of tremendous digital transformation - technologies are developing at the rate of “five-year plan in half a year”. We believe that there will be the 50th anniversary of LANIT. And we will write an article about him on Habr. Well, or place the hologram in virtual habrareality. Or maybe we’ll send a message with a compressed beam from the office on the satellite. In the meantime, we will make sure that the Earth does not break from the circle - no matter what speed the technique takes.
    Design thought cannot stand still. This is the law of the development of society.

    PS: All the quotes are taken from the story of Arkady and Boris Strugatsky "Monday begins on Saturday."
