From a short term point of view I was going to get them to change their collation on just the database we are accessing to Latin1_General_CI_AS. Do you know if there is anything that we need to take into consideration before implementing this short term approach?

Check master,tempdb,model.... databases,
probably these and the server are set up to Latin1_General_BIN.
Therefore, every call to an object or identificatore must be exact
Example:
sp_Who
Another point:
you can change from Latin1_General_CI_AS to Latin1_General_BIN,
but change Latin1_General_BIN to Latin1_General_CI_AS present more troubles
because you can have two objects with different names in Latin1_General_BIN collate,
but with the same name in Latin1_General_CI_AS collate.
