To reiterate some points, I believe it is best that analysts belong to the department that they are qualified to analyze (accounting, ie pricing structures; marketing, ie market size/growth; purchasing/inventory, etc). But if you want more broad reporting, then usually IT has a report writer/business analyst that fulfills the more common number crunching that doesn't require "analysis", such as, "I need how many shipments we made this month out of warehouse B for product line X.)
