Talk:Systems analyst

message: Does anyone remember the class nerd from one of the early Simpsons episodes crossing his fingers and saying "Systems Analyst, Systems Analyst" while waiting for his computer generated career match to be announced? That my favourite Cultural Reference. I think it may have been from the 1st season even. --138.80.0.10 (talk) 01:10, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't this article be merged with the article on system_analysis? Or should we be keeping both separate?

replies: text: No, but we can and do collapse brain surgeon into brain surgery (well, it's actually neurosurgeon into neurosurgery). A systems analyst is one who performs systems analysis. There's no reason to have seperate articles on a practitioner and his/her field, because most of the info will overlap. Recury 20:22, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Here is a replacement stub you may use:
A Systems analyst  is a person that is responsible for researching, planning and recommending software and systems choices to meet an organization's business requirements.
System Analyst in some companies act as a liaison between vendors and the organization they represent.  They may be responsible for developing cost analyses, design considerations, implementation time-lines. The may also be responsible for feasibility studies of a computer system before making recommendations to senior management.
In some respects a systems analyst is very similar to the role a computer consultant may play.

thread_title:  Merge with system_analyst? 

message: This article seems to describe a "computer systems analyst", per the one external link.  Even Wiktionary defines "systems analyst" much more broadly, as someone who practices systems analysis.  Does anyone have a source that the narrow definition given here is the most prominent use of the phrase?  If not, I'd suggest renaming this article "computer systems analyst" and redirecting "systems analyst" to "systems analysis" as has been proposed before.  --Allen (talk) 04:29, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Accuracy of article? 

message: I'm interviewing for both positions and it seems they are very similar.  I would think an architect is more senior, but I can't tell for sure.
:There is a huge difference between a software development Systems Analyst and a Systems Architect and this article needs to describe software development Systems Analysts much more. This article needs to relate Systems Analysis and Systems Analysts with system design methodologies. There are many hundreds of books about system design methodologies that have very little or no Systems Architect material in them. Sam Tomato (talk) 21:22, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

message: I think this article should be merged with computer systems analyst. In a modern context, both titles describe essentially the same profession. Isheden (talk) 08:44, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. While a system refers to any inter-related set of components that work to achieve a common goal, a computer is a system in itsel and computer systems analyst should have its own section under systems analyst rather than its own article. Additionally, there is barely enough information in both these articles for them to afford to be stand-alone articles. Aleksandar Bulovic' (talk) 20:23, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
