Analytics
Creating a software product requires a development team: designers, programmers, and testers. These are single-discipline specialists, who focus on particular tasks: they work on user experience (UX design), create prototypes and interfaces (UI design), write code, and test software.
Analysts act as mediators between developers and clients. They communicate with customers, study business processes and identify functions the system must accomplish. The main task of analysts is to help clients transmit their requests to developers and help the development team fine-tune the workflow in order to decrease workload and increase effectiveness.
Analytics - in a broad sense - defines the system requirements in order to plan a project or to modify an existing product. Systems and business analytics help to solve specific issues.
Business analytics
Business analysts investigate tasks a business should complete. They study clients’ needs, analyze business processes and offer ways to optimize running processes and implement new ones. These experts can also create tasks for system analysts by defining IT solutions and tools that are required to perform given tasks.
Business analytics studies company performance, identifies business needs, and helps to understand how goals can be achieved, whether it is profit markup, the implementation of new technologies, or expense trimming.
Systems analytics
Systems analysts are agents between the development team and clients, who are not necessarily good at IT subtle details. They translate business requirements into the language of software development and assign tasks to technical specialists.
Systems analytics helps to build optimal architecture, select appropriate tools and methodologies, create design, develop a product, and test it.
What we offer
Major companies have analysts working in tandem, where each expert has got their own area of responsibility. Smaller organizations might lack an analytics department, so an employee manages both roles simultaneously. Our staff consists of business analysts, system analysts, as well as multi-discipline specialists. The latter communicate with clients and formulate problems based on business requirements, while technical background allows them to create detailed specifications and project their vision to developers. Get in touch with us to leverage your business and improve system performance.
