I know this doesn't really help you, but your real problem is you need
to fire your IT guy.  As a former one myself, the role of IT should be
to help users solve their legitimate business-need cases of technology
issues, and yours has failed.  He needs to be taught that is job is to
aid, not hinder, the business achieving its goals.

Barring that, you need to seek out those with enough political power
to force your IT guy to do what you need, and convince them to do so.
Everyone has a boss...  And if you lack access to those people, it's
just a matter of finding someone you do have access to who does, who
will sympathize, or at least empathize, and make your case for you.

Yeah, I've been trying to explain this to some folks around here
recently, but not having much success.  You have my sympathy.
