Business Analyst of the Year Awards:
 
Computerworld, together with the support of Redvespa, will again be recognising the Business Analyst of the Year and Emerging Business Analyst of the Year this coming November. Winners will be announced at the ITEX awards cocktail function on November 23, 2010 at SkyCity Auckland.

Business Analysts are an integral link between ICT and the business. A good Business Analyst can spot a problem, analyse it and propose innovative changes that will drive business efficiency and business success. Qualities that are essential in a great Business Analyst include innovation, communication and professionalism.

The awards seek out New Zealand's leading Business Analysts to recognise excellence in Business Analysis. The finalists will have contributed not only to their organisation, but to the industry as a whole.
Nominate a great Business Analyst today - entries are open until Friday 15 October 2010. See http://computerworld.co.nz/itexawards for details.
