Document Summary

The business analyst role is to act as a bridge between the business and the information technology department. He/she will have a good working knowledge of the systems in use by the company. He/she will be able to guide users on how to enter transactions, query the database or run reports. He/she will help new users so that they are able to process transactions according to the flow within the system. When a new system is implemented, a major task is to convert data from the old system to the new system. There is master data, such as room details, that must be entered into the new system. There is also the testing of the new system to ensure that it functions according to the requirements of the business. And, of course, new users need to be trained. Online transaction processing refers to the transactions being processed immediately. Business rules can be checked at the time the data is entered.
