The business analyst of the 21st century has come a long way. These days the responsibilities held by the position are multifaceted. A business analyst must be an ambassador, a mediator, a diplomat and a moderator. He or she must be able to work within and across multiple disciplines, such as technology, engineering, finance and organizational operations.

In general, the role of a business analyst is to examine businesses, enterprises or organizations both real and theoretical and to assess the ensuing business model, processes and systems and integrations with technology.

There are a number of specific areas covered by business analysis. These include:

  • Strategic planning: the purpose being to recognize a company’s individual business needs.
  • Business model analytics: the purpose being to assess and explain the business’s policies and approaches to the target market.
  • Process design: the purpose being to standardize the business’s workflow.
  • Systems analysis: the purpose being to interpret the rules and requirements of the business with regard to technical systems.

A business analyst is involved in the actual operations of the enterprise and implements information technology to advance the quality of the deliverable services. Sometimes, the business analyst will also help to develop training materials and participate in their implementation.
