Systems Analysts are like a company's IT investigators—they take a close look at existing IT systems to figure out causes of errors by monitoring different applications, databases, and networks. They typically work with a team of developers and programmers to design and test improvements to IT systems. They also function as a link between the organisation's IT and non-IT stakeholders.

- Preparing project plans and proposals on the use of IT resources and budget.
