IT Systems Analyst

IT Systems Analyst Job Description

Systems analysts translate business requirements into IT solutions. They must be analytical thinkers, problem solvers and communicators. These professionals apply methods such as data modeling to view processes and data flows even before programs have been written. They conduct tests and analyze information and data trends to boost a system’s efficiency. Systems analysts oversee vendor solutions and advise business leaders in the development, maintenance and improvement of hardware and software systems for the company. A bachelor’s degree in a computer or information science field is common, although some firms hire analysts with an equivalent combination of education and two to four years of experience in information technology or computer programming.

Typical IT systems analyst duties:

Analyzing systems hardware and software in comparison with emerging technologies to increase the firm’s efficiency and effectiveness

Overseeing the installation and testing of new systems and translating user and/or systems requirements into functional IT specifications

Developing and managing internal procedures, tools, and documents to provide a high level of application integrity and availability and to ensure timely, effective support
