Differences between Business Analyst, Functional Analyst and System Analyst
Business Analyst - Person who knows business process or gathers information from client.
Functional Analyst - Person who studies business requirement and offer sap solution.
System /Technical Analyst - Person who modify/create program as per business needs.
Business analyst is strong in understanding business processes.

For small projects, there won't be any differentiation between them.
For big projects, Business Analysts act as on site consultants and they are going to interact with client.
