Definition and Nature of the Wok

A typical type of problem for a computer systems analyst would be to develop software
for a new computerized inventory system used by a large retail store. The analyst first
discusses the current system with managers to establish what the new system should do.
The analyst then breaks the system down into steps and collects information about what
has to happen at each of these stages. The systems analyst uses cost accounting,
mathematical modeling, and sampling techniques to plan a new system that will best keep
track of the store's stock. The analyst then describes the new system to management and
makes any necessary changes. After the system has been accepted, the analyst then
prepares specifications, process diagrams, and system flow charts. These charts and
diagrams are instructions that tell computer programmers how to program the computer to
operate the system. The analyst then explains the system to the people who will be using it
and decides on any computer hardware and additional software that is required to run the
system. If a complex program is needed for the system, the analyst may enlist the help of
a computer software engineer to design and write the program.

For systems already in operation, analysts work to develop more efficient or faster
procedures. They also modify systems when changes are made in the task the computer
has to complete. Computer systems analysts can develop systems to handle billing and
payrolls, predict future sales, or build rockets. Because systems problems are so diverse,
many analysts specialize in either business, engineering, or scientific applications. All
analysts must keep up to date with current data processing methods, programming
languages, and machines.

Computer systems analysts will be in great demand due to advances in telecommunications

technology and scientific research. (© Chris Jones/Corbis.)

Education and Training Requirements

Most employers require that computer systems analysts have a college education. Many
prefer an undergraduate degree in computer science or related subjects. A background in
accounting and business management or even a master's in business administration (MBA)
is helpful for those interested in business applications. Scientific organizations may
require courses in physical science, mathematics, or engineering. Work in very specialized
fields, such as scientific research, requires a graduate degree or training in the field. A
knowledge of one or more computer languages is very valuable. Many colleges, vocational
schools, and computer companies offer training in computer science, computer
programming, and data processing.
Many systems analysts have transferred into this field from other occupations, especially
computer programming. Increasingly companies are looking to hire programmer–analysts,
who can both come up with solutions to computer problems and write software.
Programmers usually continue their training for the rest of their careers as new
programming languages and technologies continually arrive on the market.

High school students interested in pursuing this type of work should study mathematics,
computer science, and physics. They should also take computer programming courses in
school or study computers and computer languages in their spare time.

Getting the Job

A good way to find a job in systems analysis is to contact the larger computer
manufacturers. The federal government has computer systems in operation in many states.
Those who are interested in a government job should apply to take the necessary civil
service examination. College placement offices can help graduating students to contact
employers. Classified ads in newspapers and trade journals and Internet job banks are
other sources of jobs.

Advancement Possibilities and Employment Outlook

A junior systems analyst may advance to senior and then to lead systems analyst positions.
Those who show management abilities may become department supervisors and managers.
Some experienced analysts start their own computer firms.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 487,000 people worked as computer
systems analysts in 2004. Employment was expected to grow much faster than the average
through the year 2014. New openings will occur because of the development of new
applications for computers and sophisticated technologies. The rapid growth of computer
centers that sell computer services to other businesses will also provide jobs. Advances in
telecommunications technology and scientific research mean that systems analysts with
specialized science backgrounds will be in great demand.

Working Conditions

Computer systems analysts often spend time working independently. They spend some time
in the office and some time observing the systems with which they work. They meet with
many people to define problems, discuss solutions, and explain new systems. Systems
analysts usually work forty hours per week with occasional evening or weekend work to
meet project deadlines.
