I have been a member of this forum for a few years, and have learned much and still hope to contribute more.  My interests have changed over the years from processes, tools and other aspects of the role, and I find that with changing trends in IT, he analyst role continues to evolve.  I am now part of a software firm that has a product that manages design /mapping automatically, and as part of that I am looking to stay engaged with the components of business analysis that feed into the data management process ultimately... 

Looking for some active dialogue and to get to know folks in this space as well.  I am located just North of Dallas, Texas and am always glad to hear about local events or gatherings for professional networking.  

Glad to be here!

Automatic design/mapping sounds good to me. Robots!
