Business analysts are highly valued for their ability to translate the unique requirements of customers or user groups within a business to drive the development of appropriate solutions. Business Systems Analysts, Systems Analysts, Requirements Engineers, Business Process Analysts, and Data Analysts are all part of the business analyst family of roles and are present in most corporations, non-profit businesses, state and municipal agencies, and other organizations in the Austin area. Business Analysts are highly valued within IT departments where they are responsible for providing clear direction in the development of important IT systems.

Business Analysts perform activities such as:

• Explore and document problems and opportunities for an organization.
• Elicit and analyze requirements for solutions.
• Communicate and review requirements with project stakeholders to gain agreement.
