In a bold step towards digital independence, sustainability, and security, civil servants, police officers, and judges in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein will phase out Microsoft software, including Teams, Word, Excel, and Outlook, within the next three months. They will switch to open-source alternatives, aiming to ensure their digital sovereignty. Specifically, the state intends to replace Microsoft Office with LibreOffice and Outlook's email and calendar functionalities with Open-Xchange. Additionally, Schleswig-Holstein plans to transition to Linux operating systems in the coming years, ultimately severing ties with Windows. This strategic shift underscores the state's commitment to regaining control over data storage and enhancing its digital autonomy.
