Keep it simple. Everyone likes to push buttons. :-)

I've rarely been on the receiving end of reports, or generating them. In infrastructure, I just make sure that they get run.

But, I've seen time and again in meetings - 10 people will argue and argue over the placement of this field, or the inclusion of that one, or the other field got cut off by mistake. Hours are spent generating and fixing the report that, if it gets sent out to those same 10 arguing people, nine of them will ignore it and toss it in the trash.

I periodically stop delivering a report just to see if anyone complains. If not, I eliminate the noise.
