Computer System Analyst

Computer System Analyst

As a computer system analyst, you’ll deal with aspects of both IT and business. In this role, you’ll work with computer systems to determine whether they’re performing correctly and efficiently for your organization. Meanwhile, you’ll also look for ways to improve how technology is used within a business.

The systems you work with depend on the nature of the business, its tasks, and goals. Computer systems analysts determine what’s needed and whether processes are optimized. Given the crossovers between IT and business, this role requires knowledge of both disciplines.

A computer systems analyst needs to be highly technical and have an understanding of business to ensure IT systems are meeting business needs. This requires a unique set of both technical and workplace skills. Technical skills represent the practical aspects of your role, while workplace skills contribute to how productive you are in a work environment.
