Introduction
Business Analysts (BA) have traditionally
been doing the work of Requirements
Management for Enterprises. With Services
oriented Architecture and Web 2.0 becoming
common practices the role of Business Analyst is
transforming towards an end to end solution
provider; going forward you will need less and
less of Solution Designers, Software Engineers &
Testers, BA will do it all. BA will have to develop
integrated Business and IT Systems. But before
Business Analysts can do the Solution Provider
role there are some challenges the industry needs
to address
Challenges
With Business Processes becoming
sophisticated the number of IT Systems
supporting the Business Processes is also
increasing. Managing the plethora of IT systems
in a way to align your IT strategy with the
Business Strategy is becoming difficult for
Enterprises. The number and quality of Business
Analysts required to do the job of Requirements
Management for the Business Transformation
projects is going up. Given the fact that the
technologies are changing at a faster rate, finding
efficient BAs in the industry is becoming
increasingly challenging. Enterprises today are
facing situation where they have to ask designers
to take up the BA role to be able to get away with
the Requirements Management job on the table.
This leads to costly and in-efficient BAs. Getting
the right BA for an enterprise is getting more
daunting work.
Possible Solutions
Following are the solutions that companies have
been adopting to get a hold of the situation
• Promote Solution Designers in your
organization to take the BA role
• Hire costly FTE BA as full time employees to
maintain business to IT alignment
• Hire costly contractor BAs who come and go
with projects and with them goes the
knowledge of your business domain

BPA in Onsite Offshore Model
BA job traditionally have been done in
close proximity to clients location and there had
been good reasons for it. One of the primary
reason was a BA was looked upon as some who
will provide direction to a projects in its infancy
using his extensive experience. 5 years back this
kind of working was relevant and useful but not
today; reason being the fast pace of technological
obsolescence. What you now need is a technically
current BA who can execute in an Agile way to
complete the requirements quickly. Key success
criteria that worked in past don’t work any more in
IT and so in Business Analysis.
With the advent in collaborative
technologies Business Analysis is now possible in
an onsite and offshore model. The pace of
change of business lands an enterprise in a
situation where they cannot afford to let go BA off
once the project is completed. In near future BAs
will be doing all Business Processes and IT
Systems changes thus leading to them becoming
more critical to Business Agility.
