Curses

For at least six months, my team has been working on migrating our intranet from SharePoint to Wordpress. Literally building the site from scratch and remaking all pages, moving all documents over, etc. We are set to launch in a week and a half. And all of a sudden two days ago the head of IT decides that Wordpress is not secure and is very hackable and what exactly are we doing. Um, what? We have not only involved the Tech team from the beginning (and gotten their blessing), but we have also gotten approval from Legal/Data Privacy. This is not the first time that this guy has made my life a living hell - he tends to not bother with asking questions and instead jumps to the most illogical, panicked conclusions. Which is an excellent quality to have in a leader, no? (Sorry - can you tell I cannot stand this guy??)

Our options are: tech pays to build our own Wordpress platform and then has to hire someone to support it; we stop and stick with our current intranet; or we move forward and he just gets the hell on board. #option3
