Systems analyst

A systems analyst is responsible for researching, planning, coordinating and recommending software and system choices to meet an organization's business requirements.

Systems analysts may act as liaisons between vendors and the organization they represent. They may be responsible for developing cost analyses, design considerations, and implementation time-lines. They may also be responsible for feasibility studies of a computer system before making recommendations to senior management.

* Interact with the customers to know their requirements

* Interact/guide the coders/developers to keep track of system development
* Perform system testing with sample/live data with the help of testers
