Of course the simple answer is "system owner" - but is it really as simple as that. Is there another term used for the responsibilty?

System administrator
Yes, "system owner" may seem like the obvious choice, but in layman's terms the "person with the overall responsibility for the administration and operations of one or more computer programs"...is typically called a 'system administrator'. My best friend is one and I have worked with several at Oracle and other places.

Yes and no. It depends on the set up for the organization. In most computer companies, responsibility for "administration and drift" would stop with the "system administrator", however, a "system owner" involves procurement and development, almost a CIO. System owner is a much less common term.

| Thanks David. That is what I would have said, but Sven does have a point here. Best to ask the client for the full job description. |

: Not so; the system administrator reports to the system owner, who carries the ultimate responsibility.
