Without commenting on the internal politics of your company. Many companies have standardized on Microsoft Outlook. First, find out exactly what he is talking about. If you must run Outlook, I would suggest that you look at Codeweaver's crossover office (which is a much improved wine) and install MS Office so you can run those tools when necessary. Or you could get a copy of Win4Lin or VMWare and run Windows on your Linux box. IMHO, the CrossoverOffice solution is the cheapest in terms of $$$ as well as system resources.
