Business and System Analysis
About Business and System Analysis
Simply
put, business systems analysis is the analysis of business systems. But
in order to be considered a successful systems analyst you need to
understand how complex the role is and how it affects the Systems
Development Life Cycle (SDLC) which in turn has an impact on the success
of the organisation. A BSA will work with a combination of people and
processes to help ensure that everything works together to achieve the
overarching business objectives. They will not only be responsible for
BSA analysis but also for the design of the right requirements. The
business analyst will see to the successful creation and implementation
of the SDLC, working towards an optimised and automated business
process.
Why is Business and System Analysis important?
The
role of a business systems analyst is important to business because
they ensure strategic targets are met. When choosing or designing a
business system, without the input and specialised function of a BSA,
project failure is a likely outcome. This could be due to many factors,
including a poor business case, inadequate feasibility studies, blind
spots in the management team and going ahead with a system as the only
system – instead of ensuring a backup system is developed as well.
