About the course
In today's rapidly changing world, businesses that fail to embrace technology and adapt to new conditions are disadvantaged and may struggle to achieve their goals. This has led to an increased demand for professionals who recognise the need for change and facilitate the development and implementation of process solutions. Business systems analysts play a critical role in connecting IT and leadership teams, helping management to understand technical solutions, and enabling IT professionals to identify organisational goals.
The University of Cape Town (UCT) offers an online short course in Business Systems Analysis that explores different business systems analysis theories. These can be applied to evaluate existing processes and implement practical and efficient changes. As a business systems analyst, you will acquire skills to utilise IT business systems and technological tools to improve your organisation's success and efficiency. This 10-week course covers the basics of business systems analysis, including how to identify system requirements and transform them into project specifications and user-friendly solutions that align with your business's strategic objectives.
For individuals interested in studying business systems analysis, UCT course offerings are an ideal pathway. This course is suitable for individuals new to business systems analysis, and experienced employees who wish to formalise their knowledge and stay up-to-date in a competitive industry. The course is designed to help established IT professionals and business systems analysts to enhance their skills and receive a certificate of completion online from the leading university in Africa. Furthermore, individuals who are not in the field but are eager to employ technical and business-oriented strategies to improve their company's operations will benefit greatly from this course.
