Work as a System Analyst

Transcript

When we changed the supply, CFSS, Canadian Forces Supply System, every now and then we’d get an updated version of how things should be done, to make it easier computer wise. So when I went there, they had a new system. It was tested and mostly this is good but once we put it on, when it became live, went on the air, the people in the field for example or Head Quarters, where ever, said “Look, we find this wrong with this system. It won’t do A, B, C, D.” Why not? We have to look at it. So myself and my group, they would get it, do an assessment on it. Then we had another civilian group, downtown Ottawa who would look at it through the computer, through a computerized system, a mock system they had. They could run it through, then they could tell us, “No, it’s not doing that.” And my guys would have to write up a little program to do the correction to make the system work the way it should work. So that’s what we were, as a function analyst, that’s what we were primarily involved with.
