It's not up to the IT department. Network effects means if you don't use MS you cannot interperate with other MS-based companies as well. So you need at least some MS integration and they are happy to sell you the rest of the stack bundled with it.

There is also another type of network effect: hiring candidates or contractors with knowledge of the MS stack is much easier than finding someone who can set up an alternative.
