Applications analysts serve as part of an organizations’ IT team, taking an analytic role to ensure that the computer application systems being used are meeting the needs of the organization. Aside from simply analyzing existing systems, this can also mean designing, developing, and implementing their iterations and replacements to try and better meet the goals of the organization, too. The application support analyst job description is mostly the same thing, though they typically focus more on the analysis, diagnosis, and resolution of application errors and problems.

Qualifications outside of a formal education that should be considered necessary can include technical experience, as well as knowing relevant computer languages, such as CSS, Microsft SQL, #C, and HMLS. Depending on what kind of position you are aiming for, examples of past work might be necessary, too.
