What is a Systems Analyst 
 
Pre reading activities 
What does a Systems Analyst do? Discuss in pairs. 
 
Reading activities 
1. Read and translate the text. 
 
A Systems Analyst is responsible for studying, analyzing, and designing information systems to meet the specific 
needs of an organization. These professionals bridge the 
gap between business requirements and technological solutions, ensuring that the information systems effectively 
support and enhance the overall operations of the organization. 
Systems Analysts often work in multidisciplinary teams 
and are involved in the entire system development life cycle, from initial concept and requirements analysis to system implementation, testing, and ongoing maintenance. 
This role requires technical proficiency, problem-solving 
abilities, and a deep understanding of organizational processes to deliver systems that contribute to the efficiency 
and success of the business.

4. Software is a great combination between artistry and 
engineering (Bill Gates). 
5. Data is the new oil (Clive Humby).
