What are roles of the systems analyst?
Computer Systems Analyst was hot career field back in the 1960’s, ’70’s, and ’80’s. These were people who were trained to analyze the needs of a company, decide which computer system would work best for them, which software would work best for them, and then to set up the programs that the company would use. This was in the days of main frame computers, which were often tailor made for a given company, depending on what the systems analyst reported. The introduction of desktop computers and the Windows operating systems has almost completely eliminated the job of systems analyst, because the desktop computers are able to be adapted to almost any demands, and the Windows operating systems are designed to allow practically any programs to be run on a desktop computer.
