Trapped in MS Office
Europe seeks digital independence from Microsoft Office due to geopolitical risks and outdated work models. There's widespread dissatisfaction with Office's inefficiency, cloud dependency, and outdated document paradigms. Some governments are exploring open-source alternatives like LibreOffice. However, simply substituting Office may reinforce existing obsolete models rather than encouraging innovative workflows. Europe needs to rethink its approach to productivity, moving towards simpler, more dynamic tools that suit modern collaboration, rather than replace old systems with similar ones.
