Please respond to [email protected] *Sr. BUSINESS ANALYSIS **Location : BLOOMFIELD, CT Length Of Assignment : 10 MONTHS** * *DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES * - Formulates and defines systems scope and objectives based on both user needs and a good understanding of applicable business systems and industry requirements. - Devises or modifies procedures to solve complex problems considering computer equipment capacity and limitations, operating time, and form of desired results. Includes analysis of business and user needs, documentation of requirements, and translation into proper system requirement specifications. - Guides and advises less experienced Business Analysts. - Highly skilled. Competent to work at the highest technical level of most phases of systems analysis while considering the business implications of the application of technology to the current and future business environment.** *SKILLS REQUIRED :*** - The Systems Analyst plays a pivotal role in the Software Development Lifecycle within Enterprise Application Services (EAS). - The System Analysts is responsible for discovering detailed business requirements and functional requirements based on reviewing business use cases and requirements and functional system requirements prepared by Business Analyst and System Analysts. - From these documents as well as via collaborative discussions with key business and system partners, the EAS System Analyst key responsibility is to identify business functions within business and system processes - existing and new - that can be defined and developed as enterprise services. - Out of this discovery and analysis process the SA will define service requirements and prepare the associated artifacts to produce service and service operation specifications. - The lead designer and developer will use these artifacts as "blue prints" for the construction of their Enterprise Services i.e, applications that implement functions that are relevant in a business context such as, "Update Member Demographics". - Likewise, the Quality Assurance testers will base their test scripts on the tech specs. - The EAS SA serves as a collaborator with the lead domain designer to ensure the detailed requirements are known and working with the designer determines if requirements as defined can be met or if alternative approaches or views are needed. - One of the challenges the EAS team faces is that often times a BA will define a business process in terms of the existing technology rather than understanding the actual business process and how technology enables it. - The SA will work with the business partner to flush out detailed business requirements, meaning the SA must help define all the possible scenarios within a business process, requiring the ability to think and work independently, and develop a broad and deep understanding of the end-to-end business process. - The SA uses the BA's business requirements as inputs to create their specifications. - Developers construct Enterprise Services using technologies such as Java, Aqualogic DSP and COBOL based on the SA's service and service operation specifications, enabling a business process through technology within a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) environment. - Therefore, it is critical the SA prepares well-formed requirements and provides the level of details necessary to define business functions, business objects, business rules, and possible business outcomes in a way the designer and developer can translate that information into well-formed and complete schemas and codes to accurately and effectively meet those requirements within the define service level agreement. - EAS is tasked with meeting the needs of the entire organization with a business-centric IT architectural approach (SOA) that supports integrating the business as linked, repeatable business tasks i.e. Enterprise Services. In their work the SA may need to: - Reverse engineer the system specifications. - Define the business process. - Decompose the business components to facilitate a logical understanding of business design that can be leveraged to provide finer levels of detailed analysis on how it operates. - Identify a list of candidate services. - Then write the service specs for a service and service operation(s) that serves not just the requesting business unit, but all of Client. - Therefore, the SA needs experience developing loosely coupled interfaces so that the business process is not cemented in technology and the Enterprise Services can be utilized by all of Client vs. only a particular business unit. *Deliverables:* - Service requirements. - Service and Service Operation Specificiations. - Process flow diagrams (Visio). - Invocation outcomes (response messages - success and exception) Data sheets. - Business scenarios that define all possible business outcomes for the functions and provide the QA team a basis for their more detailed test scripts. - The SA must facilitate a schema and code review to validate that the code is enabling the functionality defined in the artifacts. - Likewise, the SA needs familiarity with how copybooks, SOAP, schemas, WSDLs and XMLs are put together. - Mainframe, COBOL, Java, Websphere, WebLogic, AquaLogic and DB2 exp. - SQL query a plus. *Mandatory requirements:* Must have participated as a SA in at least one full life cycle for implementing a new application or services, preferably within the health insurance industry. Must be able to clearly articulate the process they go through to gather requirements and discover business functions and processes. Must be able to articulate how they would quickly ramp-up on a new project. Must be curious; the candidate has the ability to formulate good questions to uncover requirements while talking to the key partners. Must exude confidence. Excellent communication skills - verbal and written with demonstrated success in collaborating across organizations and within different roles of the SDLC. Demonstrated experience in defining business processes and the detailed requirements needed to expose business rules, business entities,and business functions needed to perform the business process. Demonstrated experience in developing and maintaining collaborative relationships. Exposure to and understanding of SOA development and environments. EDUCATION Bachelors degree in Computer Science or a related discipline, at least four, typically six years of solid, diverse work experience in IT. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Regards, John || Phone: 916 646 2080 Ext 212 || Fax: 916 646 2081 || Email: [email protected] || Website: www.key-soft.com || Note: This email is not intended to be a solicitation.
