Abstract
Changes in technology introduce new job responsibilities and demand new skills profiles from personnel
involved in application software development. Inability to perfonn competently within these job responsibilities
can prevent the exploitation of the evolving technology. This paper describes one of the steps in a research
programme which attempts to identify the skills required by the systems analyst of the future. A group of experts
in application software development (both academics and practitioners) were approached to ask their opinion of the
changing role of the-systems analyst. This paper compares and contrasts the replies received from 9 academics and
23 practitioners.
