As an analyst, your immediate prospects depend on the size and type of the organisation for which you work and, consequently, movement between employers is common. Analysts often develop expertise in a particular business sector and may find it difficult to
move unless they have cultivated and maintained other skills.
Career advancement opportunities include:
progression to consultant or senior consultant, liaising with top-level management in client organisations;
indirect moves within the organisation, for example, developing specific technical expertise (in a systems/technical architect role);
project management, or sales and account management roles;
moving in a more strategic business direction, either within the company or with a consultancy firm
Most systems analysts work with a specific type of IT system, which varies with the type of organisation. Work activities also depend on the size and nature of the organisation, but typically involve:
liaising extensively with external or internal clients;
analysing clients' existing systems;
translating client requirements into highly specified project briefs;
identifying options for potential solutions and assessing them for both technical and business suitability;
drawing up specific proposals for modified or replacement systems;
producing project feasibility reports;
presenting proposals to clients;
working closely with developers and a variety of end users to ensure technical compatibility and user satisfaction;
ensuring that budgets are adhered to and deadlines met;
drawing up a testing schedule for the complete system;
overseeing the implementation of a new system;
planning and working flexibly to a deadline;
writing user manuals;
providing training to users of a new system;
keeping up to date with technical and industry developments.
