In a strategic move to diminish dependence on the closed-source ecosystems maintained by U.S. tech behemoths and to bolster the autonomy and manageability of critical government data, the Swiss Federal Government has greenlit a comprehensive IT modernization transition plan, earmarking CHF 10 million for the endeavor. This plan stipulates the gradual cessation of Microsoft's Outlook email system and Teams instant collaboration platform within the coming years, in favor of adopting open-source collaborative office solutions that offer greater independence and control. This decision underscores a pivotal advancement for European public administration entities in mitigating cross-border data regulatory risks and propelling the 'digital sovereignty' agenda forward.
