A systems analyst uses computers and related systems to design new IT solutions,
modify, enhance or adapt existing systems and integrate new features or
improvements, all with the aim of improving business efficiency and productivity.
They must possess a high level of technical expertise and clear insights into current
business practices. Depending on the employer, clients may be internal, e.g.
departments within the same organisation, or external.
They:
examine existing IT systems and business models;
analyse systems requirements;
undertake product development;
implement, configure and test feasible solutions.
They liaise and report to internal and external clients and stakeholders, including
colleagues and developers.
An increasingly integrated approach is being adopted as the role evolves, where the
client is involved throughout the development process. The analyst acts as liaison
between the client and the developers.
They conduct a cost analysis and agree the timeframe to impl implement the
proposed solution. They specify and shape the system requirements and operations,
the user interface and output and present the proposal to the client. They work
closely with the client team, including commercial managers and software
developers, during both the report and implementation phase.
Job titles in the IT sector are fluid, changing with advances in technology, and also
varying between organisations.
It is vital to look closely at job descriptions rather than job titles e.g. analysts may
be known as systems or business analysts and the trend is currently towards
including the term 'solutions' in the job title.
Fourth generation languages (4GL) and object-orientated programming simplify
technological language resulting in less of a need for detailed or formalised
specification requirements, so traditional boundaries between systems or business
analysis and programming have eroded. Overlap with project management is also
common.
Typical work activities
Analysts work with their organisation's particular IT system but also with a client's
legacy environment so need to be able to adapt to different programming
languages.
Work activities also depend on the size and nature of the employer organisation and
the focus of clients' business demands, but typically involve:
liaising extensively with external or internal clients;
analysing clients' existing systems and business models;
mapping and documenting interfaces between legacy and new systems;
understanding software development lifecycle;
translating client requirements into highly specified project briefs;
identifying options for potential solutions and assessing them for both technical
and business suitability;
conducting requirements analysis and preparing specific proposals for modified or
replacement systems;
developing solutions and related products;
producing project feasibility and costings report;
presenting proposals to clients;
working closely with colleagues, developers, testers and a variety of end users to
ensure technical compatibility and user satisfaction;
ensuring that budgets are adhered to and deadlines met;
drawing up, supervising and documenting testing schedule for complete system;
overseeing implementation of a new system including data migration;
planning and working flexibly to deadlines;
supporting users on change control and system updates;
providing training and user manuals to users of a new system;
keeping up to date with technical and industry developments.

What makes him powerful: Snowden, a Nobel Peace Prize nominee, perpetrated one
of the greatest intelligence leaks in U.S. history. Last May, Snowden snuck as many
as 200,000 classified documents out of an NSA facility, fled to Hong Kong, and
distributed documents to journalists. The collection which includes NSA
intelligence reports, spying requests from other U.S. government agencies, and
information on the mass surveillance of citizens disrupted American ties with
allies and benefited adversaries. (According to Forbes Magazine, he is considered as
the most powerful person at age 30)
