Sound very swish Vickyman, very swish. Just pulled this from Wikipedia:

Typically an application analyst will be responsible for supporting bespoke applications programmed with a variety of programming languages and using a variety of database systems, middleware systems and the like. It is a form of 3rd level line technical support. The role may or may not involve some customer contact but most often it involves getting some description of the problem from helpdesk, making a diagnosis and then either creating a fix or passing the problem on to someone who is responsible for the actual problem area.

In some companies, an application analyst is a would-be software architect.

Is that it, in a nutshell? Is that what you do? When did you pack your job in at MacDonalds?
