Computer Systems Analysts

Computer systems analysts improve existing computer systems. They also plan and develop new systems.

Systems analysts help organizations redesign their computer systems. Sometimes they add only a few software programs to make better use of computers. At other times, they design entirely new software systems. Analysts often specialize in business, science, or engineering systems.
