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?
