Strategy Analysis
Business analysts play a major role in the organization and design of systems, including businesses, departments, and organizations. Business analysts also assess business models and their integration with technology. Often the BA has a technical background, having worked as a programmer or engineer, or completing a Computer Science degree.
Business analysts can help in many ways including:
1. Strategic planning—the analysis and identification of an organization's strategic business needs
2. Operating and business model analysis—defining and analyzing an organization's policies and market business approaches
3. Process definition and design—business process modeling (often developed through process modeling and design)
4. Technical business analysis—the interpretation of business rules and requirements for technical systems (generally within IT, sometimes referred to as systems analysis)
Our BA staff are certified by the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA)
