The easiest approach to converting XML to flat formats is to use a tool like Oxygen or Altova MapForce. Unfortunately, MapForce Enterprise — the version you would need — runs around $1k and Oxygen XML Editor is also pricey, although you might qualify for a discount.

You can also open XML files directly in Excel or Open Office, but they might return a mess.
