Inclusivity is a plague. What you want to do is purge just about everyone from the IT department who isn't a dreaded White Man and then make sure that the bureaucracy gets out of the way so they can upgrade the Windows 2003 servers before this happens again.
This is an ongoing issue I see in the IT industry. Every time I land in a shop that's predominantly white men, everything's working well. Then as we bring in women and non-whites, it slowly falls apart and the competent people start leaving, further cementing the downward spiral. Expand this dynamic to a much larger scale and you begin to understand what's happening to our societies.
My buddy put in major work to upgrade a bunch of dying infrastructure to some truly spectacular tech before he left. Once he was gone, they were out of competent people. The remaining goons couldn't figure out how to properly make use of the technology and the last I heard they were looking to replace the infrastructure rather than find someone who actually knew how to make use of it. It's really slick tech too, so they're just throwing away a perfectly good solution that they dropped $10 million on because they can't be bothered to fire the incompetents.
Sure, some people do that, the Highly Paid Consultant phenomenon has been well documented for decades on various forums. It cuts both ways though, sometimes the HPCs are the useless shitheads.

Government contractors are usually picked according to D.I.E. guidelines too.
They let it all burn down.
