Guerilla BI Sanctioned... With Plausible Deniability

(You'll have to read through past posts on this subject to fill in the background on my progress in bringing data warehousing to my own organization.)
I'm in a good mood, and this is only one of the reasons.  Perhaps the past few years of recession has brought this about - or it could be the expected upturn in housing activity related to coming out of said recession - but hunger for data analysis at my company has grown.  So much, in fact, that I'm fielding inquiries that would otherwise not be answerable without significant expenditure of hours on the part of current data analysts.  (Even though they don't call them that.)
Given that, I've been forced out of the woodwork - somewhat.  I'm now working with a group to provide some metrics on an exploratory basis for the business decision makers in my organization.  That in itself is a good thing.  But better is the fact that I have now exposed some of the traditional data analysts to the capabilities of a real data warehouse versus Access and Excel on their own.  I'm optimistic that when this project is over, another project will be born to solidify delivery of business intelligence information - reliably, automatically, and trustworthy - through a data warehouse.  Of course, the possibility exists that everything could just go back to the way it was...
