A business analyst’s job, which can cover IT specialties ranging from ERP to data warehousing, is to translate business requirements into systems deployments. Every business analyst’s role is different, depending on the particular interface a company has with its clientele. In the case of dot coms and high tech companies, as well as more traditional companies with a strong Web component to their operations, the business analyst’s role has evolved a great deal, and now often requires Web applications skills. And with more and more Webhousing tools available, analysts have even greater access to information on how customers behave online. Knowing how to use these tools makes a business analyst with Web skills particularly valuable.
