Jon,

I think it is good to have consistency in where your users go to get their data. In my case, pushing the data to the execs was an add on to the systems that they can already get to; the data that was sent was a "cliff notes" version of what they could get online, and the idea is to give them the ability to see key metrics without having to dial in to a system ( important in a situation where they travel a lot / not system friendly / what have you ).

I am also curious: how are others training their users, and what kind of results are you getting?
