All people marvel at the dynamics of an aircraft when they are in air, wondering how everything functions so perfectly and with ease. The flawless planning and working of integrated systems at the airport, the machines at a dental clinic, or the latest gadgets and equipments that reduce manual work and perform tasks with such efficiency and perfection, all do not cease to fascinate people. Well, all these are the brain child of system analysts. System Analysis is a field which deals with how complex processes are designed and managed over the lifecycle of the project. It integrates technology with human disciplines to identify new research methods and find new ways of doing things. (Thomas, 2008)

The world is continuously evolving and there is an emerging need of newer systems, new advancements in technology, improvement in existing systems and hence, the demand. They are required in every domain ranging from water and food distribution networks, military defense, communications, electricity, transport, hospitality, medicine and almost every other field. A system analyst is a technological artist. He is an architect with knowledge of systems and designs them in a manner to implement his ideas into fruitful inventions. They are required in both government as well as private organizations. In a recent survey, their field was labeled as one of the top career opportunities. The duties of a system analyst include testing of systems, coordination of all their parts and ensure that computer systems function efficiently to support an organizations information technology needs. To pursue this career, one must possess a bachelor's degree in computer engineering and coursework in information technology and computer systems. A system engineer receives a good pay package that shows the bright scope in the form of remuneration and further increment will be there as well once he will gain some experience. (Gerald, 1971)

There are various forms of like Security systems analysts who evaluate designs and tests system security to ensure integrity of systems and data or Computer systems analysts who designs and improves the hardware and software of computers to ensure they operate efficiently. They are also known as lead system analysts or network engineers, and are responsible for the overall management of networks, development of hybrid software, web products, and hardware solutions. They may have to work with computer equipment, servers, devices and other types of hardware. The engineer maybe required to manage the business cycle by producing cost effective software, hardware and applications ranging from specification and design, to the coding, testing and maintenance of the agreed solution for the problem. The systems analyst can move up the ladder and make transitions to various other IT positions after gaining considerable knowledge and expertise. (Sebastian, 2008)
