They play a crucial role in bridging the gap between IT and the business using data analytics to assess processes, determine requirements and deliver data-driven recommendations to executives and stakeholders. Their key responsibilities include strategic planning, process modelling, requirement analysis, and data modelling. They also manage project documentation and other relevant information. An analyst must be able to interpret and use data to help the company make well-informed decisions.
