I'm not sure most IT departments really want a seamless, easy-to-use and easy-to-administer solution. Judging from the IT shops I've worked in, I'd say that they prefer the opposite. It employs more people for longer amounts of time that way.
They also tend to prefer expensive 3rd-party vendor software with expensive support contracts too. That way, they can increase their budgetary needs year after year and inflate their importance to the company who sees IT as a cost-center, not a place to save money through technology innovations.
You always have to judge these kinds of things not by what they say, but by what they do.
