That's interesting. I always thought business analysts worked on processes, not data. I've never met a business analyst who I'd consider an expert in statistical analysis. Focus was always process, and they (not to be demeaning) didn't seem to have the intelligence required of what people consider to be a data scientist (i.e. heavy math, scripting, etc).
