Re: What is systems analyst?

The term 'systems analyst' is now outmoded. It used be applied to those analysts who did 'requirements analysis' prior to computerizing a part of the business.

These people usually worked in the IT department and saw the world only in terms of computer systems - a very narrow view worldview.

The role they played in now normally taken by Business Analysts (BAs). These people usually work in the business and their view of the world is a business view as opposed to a purely IT view.

Good BAs should be able to use the following modeling techniques:

* Function Modeling
* Process Modeling
* Procedure Modeling
* Data Modeling

Too often the task of Data Modeling is done by a separate set of Data Analysts and this causes a disconnect in most projects.

A BA need not know programming languages or design techniques but knowledge of these will give a more complete view of the overall development cycle.
