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)[reply]
Why is systems analyst being redirected to business analyst? Philosopher06 12:20, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I believe this to be a direct cut-and-paste of the respective article from the California Occupational Guide. Please review http://www.calmis.ca.gov/file/occguide/COMPUSYS.HTM to confirm this. Someone with more time than me should check into possible copyright violations. Copyright violations aside, this article needs substantial cleanup to meet Wikipedia standards. Please see WP:CLEANUP for more information. GregChant 21:40, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Shouldn't this article be merged with the article on system_analysis? Or should we be keeping both separate?

If you view my comments under systems analysis you would see that, as a practitioner of systems analysis, the systems analyst is strictly a subset of the entire field of systems analysis. The systems analyst uses systems analysis within the field of computer systems. But the field itself, systems analysis, can cover everything from how you go about doing your daily shopping to running a global business.
Unless, of course, we should also collapse Brain Surgeon under the general heading of Surgeon??? Systems Analysis is a 'field' whereas Systems Analyst is an instantiation of systems analysis within the category of computer systems.

=age, but it is a copy of a page from a government agency. I believe all of this is in the public domain. At least I know that when I worked for Kean University, everything we published, even if there was a copyright notice, was in the public domain because we received federal funds and were an education inst. I would look for a clarification on this point before deleting this. --akc9000 (talk • contribs • count) 17:55, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
ASystems 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.

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)[reply]
In this day and age, is there really any need for such differentiation? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.80.0.10 (talk) 01:05, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
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.
please include educational requirements to become a systems analyst —Preceding unsigned comment added by 3242432432D (talk • contribs) 06:25, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]
The usage and primary topic of SA is under discussion, see Talk:Sturmabteilung -- 70.51.202.183 (talk) 05:00, 8 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Asystem is a group of interacting or interrelated entities that form a unified whole.
The system can have a wide range of biological, social, economic, cultural, technological systems (including computer systems and/or information systems).
It seems that on this page and many similar pages, the macro concept of the system has been reduced to a smaller concept (computer and IT).
For example, pages such as System Analysis, System Analyst, System Engineer, System Architecture, Business Architecture, etc., have been seen as merely related to a career or field of study (such as computers and related sciences).
I ask Wikipedia managers to prevent this kind of thinking from spreading to other fields.
