My role as Business Analyst

In most of the outsourcing and agile development companies, the Business Analyst role can be erased. Outsourcing companies can analyze the business domain by a business analyst at the client location, whereas in an agile development lead developers gathers customers requirement directly.
Most companies identify Business Analysis as requirement gathering, process analysis, requirement management and finally testing. Some companies term Business Analyst as Cost because they just translates business into technology, but are not developers.
Now the trend is on an increased demand for Business Analyst, as companies are more focused on remodeling their business than the tradition style.

The role of the business analyst has emerged as a focal point for enterprises trying to wring more out of their automation-technology investments.[…] Ironically, outsourcing is feeding a frenzy to bring aboard more analysts. The experience of outsourcing IT has taught firms their technology-project specifications were in much worse shape than they believed. When companies would deliver specs to outside firms and individuals who didn’t have deep experience with their existing automation solutions, the knowledge gaps became painfully apparent.

On the other hand, my role at Elegant MicroWeb is quite different. I am currently working on KPI's for various industries and departments. After studying the Key Performance Indicators, configure the business intelligence tool to illustrate the KPI. Further, working on the marketing and business development for Business Intelligence Tool - ElegantJBI.
Interesting than just writing Functional Specification as termed by some people.
