Excellent - this is closer to what we want - if we can do a small amount of 
programming to set up report templates and then let the interface drive the 
rest, that works.

I want to look in to segment.io but don't really understand it. It's a data 
aggregator and multiplexer? I suspect we do not have enough data sources for it 
to be useful.
