As a finance guy and programming hobbist, I say the whole business reporting thing is a big fat problem I deal with. I get bored easily, especially when updating power points or excel reports. Besides, when things get messy (data scattered all over), there is always a sort of fear that you might put some wrong numbers here and there. Beware, there are solutions (Hyperion for financials, Business Objects for BI, etc.), but those are all too low level and they have no decent way to build views or to consolidate information from different sources, so people resort to the dreaded Excel, a piece of tech 20 yrs old. I am pretty sure that technically this is not a big problem, there is no need for Big Data or real time or the like, but anything worth considering has to have a great user experience as Excel has got people used to click their ways out of troubles all the time (at cost of wasting hours on things that should take a couple of minutes).
