Week 11: Clear: What is a Systems Analyst

Something that was very clear to me this week was the job description for a system analyst. A systems analyst is a person who helps companies and organizations decided which computers and software they should buy and use. By planning a system from the ground up, systems analysts write technical instructions and interact with designers to understand software completely.

Whenever a development process is conducted, the system analyst is responsible for designing components and providing that information to the developer. The systems analysts are the liaisons between vendors and IT professionals.

As far as pay, the average salary for a systems analyst in 2008 was $78,830 and they are usually required to work very long hours.

Until Next Week,
