This is a classic use case for an ad hoc analysis tool. Business needs can easily change every quarter. Okay, so end users want to be able to answer their own questions. But what's so wrong with doing a raw data dump to a spreadsheet or access database if that does actually help empower the end users? Well data dumps are a snapshot in time so when the data in your systems change, you need to get a new data dump, and you might be putting that together for multiple sources as well, so gathering all that information every time is wasteful...
