My company, WorkXpress, has been delivering platform as a service based solutions successfully for over five years now and have had the opportunity to witness first hand on many occasions a new phenomenon that is likely to change greatly the role of the business analyst in organizations. Recently, I was asked to expand on an article published here about that phenomenon entitled “The People that Cloud Computing Forgot – The Business Process Analyst”.
To summarize, we are witnessing a marked increase in both the importance of and focus on the work of the business analyst that is directly proportional to the depth with which cloud computing services are utilized. What’s more, we are experiencing a shift in the tools and skills that our analysts and those of our customers are required to utilize. We believe this to be more than just theory or prediction, but rather something that we have observed first hand and that will change forever the role and prominence of the business analyst. The forces behind cloud computing can’t really be stopped due to their disruptive value proposition, and as a result we are all simply going to have to change with them.
