Computer systems analysis is a hybrid of information technology and business. And computer systems analysts leverage both their knowledge of information technology and business to design better computer systems and processes for their clients.
Companies often need an information technology (IT) analyst to build these computer systems and help maintain the systems to keep the business running smoothly. An IT analyst, also known as a systems analyst, works with different companies to determine the appropriate software and computer systems for the business. The company provides information to the analyst about what the computer systems in the company need to do for the business. The analyst takes this information and formulates a system plan, plotting out how specific pieces of information will reach each employee or department of a company.
