      No chance. One of the key people of Digitaal Vlaanderen went to Microsoft.

      I doubt it… but I guess anything is possible.

      I doubt the Belgian government would do this. The only reason why they’re able to do this in Denmark is because it’s only happening in the ministry of digitalisation. They want more control over their software and data. They started a switched of their windows systems to Linux a little while ago, and this is their next step.

      Germany did something similar in 2024 where they also transferred over quite a few government systems, infrastructure, and computers to Linux.

      But office 365 is so hardwired into the Belgian government that it would an obscene amount of effort and training to do this.

      I remember someone I know within the government that had a manager (or someone high up) who wanted to switch out Office 365 to Googles workspaces and software…this very quickly shut down when they calculated the transition costs, and the pure panic of the employees

      You are not aware how much that will cost? Replacing all Bloc note, post it’s, binders and pencils.

      No. Not by a long shot. If possible they would even crawl into Microsoft’s butt.

      I would assume the purchase of “Microsoft Office” or similar goes through a ‘Request for Proposal’ where a government department requests companies to make an offer and then picks the best based on criteria listed in that RFP.

      Of course, that does requrie a company to answer. They wouldn’t simply say “we’re using LibreOffice” but would requrie a company that can guarantee the offering.
