Does this mean they will ditch Msft or just that they need to click a few checkboxes?
They should ditch them for so many other reasons too. Also Public Money, Public Code. Al public institutions should only use libre and opensurce software. The only way to preserve privacy, freedom, and digital sovereignty.
Some European entities have already jumped to LibreOffice. It’s a European-made drop-in replacement. I’m surprised at them not simply ordering the Commission to switch immediately.
LibreOffice by itself isn't a drop in replacement for Office365.
LibreOffice + NextCloud + Jitsi/Bluebutton + Grafana + bunch of other services together could be.
If NextCloud does the storage / mail / calendaring/ contacts / tasks / notes etc.
And if the hoster ties some loose ends for Forms, Powerautomate, Kanban oh and everything Azure.
Nextcloud? As an enterprise grade solution? That's just ridiculous, sorry.
Then we can safely agree just LibreOffice alone and by itself is even more "ridiculous" I think.
Also "could be" icw "loose ends" carry a lot of weight I think.
Also Enterprise differ in requirements so there are organizations for which current NC would suffice.
Your assessment is all fun and games until you realizasse they don't have another option right now than using Microsoft 365. They'll simply pressure Microsoft into implementing a few changes to comply with the legislation and move on. Microsoft also doesn't want their large governmental customers so they'll do it.
