We switched to on-line daily reporting from monthly paper reports a
little over two years ago.  Because I was not at my current institution
at the time of conversion I can't attest to the initial reaction from
the departments.  I came on board shortly after the switch, and have
heard no complaints from the field.

My previous institution provided both on-line and paper reports.  I'm
pretty sure they weren't giving up the paper because not all departments
had the capability of going on line at the time.
