I have been working with databases for web scripts (PHP) and all sorts
of stupid billing systems and databases. Right now my system uses PHP to
access mysql, postgres and mssql databases in the same time. The only
possible solution for many of these problems was to create by own
database with my own tables and create a script to replicate the data
from one to the other periodically.
I think that you should try to move the system to your own way of
thinking and doing things and leave them the alternatives. Sooner or
later they will use your system as it is better.
