$1k for Tableau. :O In the next year or so you should see sets of Open Source tech that together do far more but it is a neat demo of the possible. On the subject of data analysis, I should mention KNIME -- see: http://www.knime.org/introduction/screenshots. It's really easy to setup data analytics like workflows. But first, yeah, hire a librarian.
