Business Analysis

Most business professionals have expertise in their primary area, i.e.: marketing, accounting, or information technology. Within each group, there usually is a common language. In order for the organization to successfully work as a cohesive enterprise to provide consistent information and services, they need to find a way to communicate between groups and determine how each groups' immediate needs fit within the overall strategies and goals of the company.

For example, the main reason organizations are building data warehouses is to provide consistent information across all applications, across all platforms, to all audiences. This requires a huge effort by the organization to define the data requirements and definitions for the organization as a whole.

Individuals that work well as liaisons between organizational groups to enhance communications are Business Analysts.
