Interestingly, often the "unaverage users" you mentioned are the most influential, as they will have the technical skills and drive to get things done. Best to get them on your side or any BI system is going to struggle. My $0.02, Morgan Vincent, thanks for your feedback.

It is scary to think just how small a band "average users" really are. Also that one unaverage user who does create a shadow system has a network of colleagues and can take dozens of them away from the standard BI tools onto the shadow system. Flexibility is a big part of selecting BI tools. Give your users control and they will love the tools. regards Vincent Well said.
