The IT business analysis field has grown significantly over the last
decade. Projected growth from the U.S. Department of Labor shows that
from 1990 to 2005 analyst position
s grew 45%, with more jobs continuing
to be created every year. Through 2014, the expectation is that this job
position will grow more than 27%, not including self-employment
or openings due to turnover. Many business analysts are independent consultants
or work specifically for consulting firms that do business and systems
analysis for many companies. The demand for business analysts is expected
to rise as advances in technology lead to new applications for computers.
Business analysts must be able to think logically and should like working with ideas. They often deal with a number of tasks simultaneously. The ability to concentrate and pay close attention to detail also is important. Although analysts often work independently, they also work in teams on large projects. They must be able to communicate effectively with technical personnel, such as programmers, as well as with managers and clients who have no computer background.
