Within all industries, businesses rely on information. Quality, timeliness of data and complete analysis can positively or negatively impact mission-critical decisions. The role of a Business Analyst is to bridge the gap between the business need identified in the strategic plan and available solutions. The analyst achieves this bridge by thoroughly analyzing the business needs and processes, then designing and testing a solution. The national definition of a Business Analyst is “Business Analysts conduct research, develop and implement (information) systems development plans, policies and procedures, and provide advice on a wide range of (information) system issues.”
