I'm in a smallish 750-employee organization with a Research unit with about 12 staff. We are having a tremendously difficult time with our IT and IT support. They impose network barriers that block access to needed websites (e.g., census data, data repositories, GitHub), question every software (e.g., G-Power, R, SPSS) or data website (e.g., Repositories, OneDrive for Business) we need access to. I'm wondering how it works for others? Challenges? And if none, how do you convince an IT department to make it easier for you to do your work?
