There are two levels, project level and enterprise level. For the individual teams, their reasons for using sonar are exactly the same as yours.
This is a personal view, but in my experience managers aren't really interested in quality and maintainability per se. They are, however, interested in RISK. You could pitch Sonar as a tool for identifying risks. If you have a project which is business critical, but that project has a unit test coverage of 5%, that is a risk for the company. If the project is too complex, that is a risk. This is doing at project level what you do at package/class level. You concentrate on those packages which are critical. One thing you will need is buy-in from the other projects. Sonar is a tool, like any other. You need to use it wisely, and make sure it is used as such. If this is imposed from above, it can be used as a stick to beat other projects. The figures given by Sonar are an indication, not an absolute value of the quality of a project.
