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. (http://www.codeweavers.com).
