    Both, and then some ... he analyzes the entire business of his client, figures out what they need to get done, then designs an entire system for the business to use to get things done ... a computer system with all the hardware and all the software and even the methods of procedure that everyone will follow to do their jobs, including teaching everyone a better way to do the jobs they do.

    A Description of System Analyst:

    http://www.techterms.com/definition/systemanalyst

    From the Dictionary of Techinical Terms – techterms.com - System Analyst:

    A system analyst is the person who selects and configures computer systems for an organization or business. His or her job typically begins with determining the intended purpose of the computers. This means the analyst must understand the general objectives of the business, as well as what each individual user's job requires. Once the system analyst has determined the general and specific needs of the business, he can choose appropriate systems that will help accomplish the goals of the business.

    When configuring computer systems for a business, the analyst must select both hardware and software. The hardware aspect includes customizing each computer's configuration, such as the processor speed, amount of RAM, hard drive space, video card, and monitor size. It may also involve choosing networking equipment that will link the computers together. The software side includes the operating system and applications that are installed on each system. The software programs each person requires may differ greatly between users, which is why it is important that the system analyst knows the specific needs of each user.

    To summarize, the system analyst's job is to choose the most efficient computer solutions for a business, while making sure the systems meet all the company's needs. Therefore, the system analyst must have a solid understanding of computer hardware and software and should keep up-to-date on all the latest technologies. He must also be willing to listen to the constant needs and complaints of the users he builds systems for.
