I upvoted your post because I think those alternatives are interesting to consider, but _you_ know far less about the politics of the situation than the OP.

It's entirely possible that the OP was exactly correct, or close to correct. It's also quite likely that at least one of the factors you mentioned (or others) was also at play.

OP here - the director that brought me in was (and still is) a straight shooter. There's no question as to why I was brought in. While she had the support of the CIO, the rest of the directors spent more time protecting their kingdoms than trying to modernize their systems. Fortunately for both myself and the director, we moved on from that organization.
