System analysis

System analysis is a process that someone goes through to figure out what a system should do and how it should work. It is like a puzzle - it involves figuring out how all the different pieces and parts fit together. The person who does system analysis will look at things like current and future needs, how people use the system and how it could be improved. After doing this, the person will be able to come up with solutions that solve any problems that exist.
