Trying to understand report usage (standard reports, ad-hoc reports) in a BusinessObjects environment

I've been part of a BusinessObjects team for about a year, having never been involved in BO before. But I have been doing IT systems for a good long while, with particular emphasis / expertise in writing awesome SQL statements . . .

This is for around 1,800 users.
