The bottom line is, as I alluded to in an earlier post, is that
nothing at that level gets done around here without a project, a committee,
a cost/benefit analysis, and testing up the wazoo. It'd be a minimum of two
months before anything like this could be enacted.

Dan:

I see some great responses already, so I have nothing useful to add for that.

But something about that paragraph seems backwards to me. (Your other comments seem to kind of support my view.)

That is, your organization allows mass changes by non-tech people ("too much to expect the non-techie group responsible") to important documents (spreadsheets or whatever) that act as some kind of encapsulated 'routing tables', and expects them to be done in a few days, essentially with no significant errors.

Yet, the trained techs can't implement techniques that should make it mostly transparent to users without jumping through more hoops than trained animals at a 3-ring circus.

Things that make you go "Hmmmm...".

Ain't business fun?
