QAI Successfully Concludes the World's First CSBA Certification Examination Globally

Orlando, April 29, 2009. The QAI Global Institute (www.qaiworldwide.com) responded to an essential worldwide deficiency within the IT industry of addressing the demand to create Business Analysis competencies in software professionals. This was accomplished by the launch of the new Business Analysis certification called CSBA (Certified Software Business Analyst).

On Saturday, March 28, 2009, QAI Global Institute concluded a worldwide examination for software professionals by which they can be recognized as Certified Software Business Analysts.

Tom Ticknor, COO, of The QAI Global Institute said, The Certified Software Business Analysts examination provides an opportunity for candidates to demonstrate the range and level of knowledge, skill, and competencies acquired during their many years of study and experience. Furthermore, the CSBA certification has been designed to specifically evaluate individuals who are experts in the technical domain, have expanded their knowledge of the business function, and who wish to be recognized for the value they can bring to the organization. Navyug Mohnot, CEO, of QAI added, I am confident that those candidates who exhibited a calm and positive approach, coupled with their hard work when preparing for the examination, will be rewarded when the results are released in May.(story continued on column 3 - right)

(continued from column 2)
Prashant Pandey from CSC, one of the candidates who took the CSBA examination on March 28, said, Business Analysts are change agents for the organization and the project. QAI has a very credible reputation in Software Certifications around the world. So, I decided to obtain a CSBA Certification which will help to better the coordination between the senior Project Management team and the client - which will deliver improved results. Certified Business Analysts can really make the difference by following the well defined procedures in the CSBA Body of Knowledge.

The certification was developed to address the requirement of organizations that acknowledge the need for business analysis skills that are typically lacking in technical professionals. Acquiring the designation of CSBA indicates a professional level of competence in the principles and practices associated with the business analyst profession.
