sigh. I’ve been down the very same road as you — though this was about 10 years or so ago. What you have to do is build a critical mass of people around you that understands why your project is going to benefit them. Do this informally with your superiors, get them to agree to let you run a local test server to demo your app. (I had to run a server out of my cube for a while before the college finally agreed to serve up dynamic content.) When you get enough buy in, do a formal presentation, with your demo as proof of concept. The gist of your presentation: Dynamic content, Good; Static content, Bad. They just might get it.
