Not so much "aiming" as doing it. The alternative already exists, is open-source, and used by 40,000 government users. By 2027 all government agencies will use it exclusively.

What is that option?

Visio from https://lasuite.numerique.gouv.fr/

It's funny that it's such a blatant knock-off of Google Workspace - the repos even have the same names:

I wonder if the emoji will grow into its own set:

Visio with live kit (part of lasuite) or opendesk with jitsi would be my guess.

https://jitsi.org/ https://www.opendesk.eu/en

As an aside I am surprised it has taken this long but seems inevitable now given the last 18 months.

It doesn't matter. Office suites are a commodity. Google suite is knockoff of MS Office at certain point in time. That's just the nature of digital - information want's to be free.

I feel like we would see a lot more movement if we’ve reached the commodity point…

That's exactly what we need though, so I see that as a plus.

My bet would be that "the standard" will be Heinlein Groups (company behind mailbox.org) OpenTalk (already better than Jitsy) and now they are doing OpenCloud as scaleable NextCloud alternative. The company behind the projects needs it for their own usecases, has stable business and they have decades of experience.

It's network effects / lock-in. There is a reason why people still use Microsoft Office and that is that surprising amount of industries have everything build around it. In my country anything law related is submitted in Microsoft Word. Academic texts? Microsoft Word. Communication with government? Microsoft Word.

The reason why Google Docs somewhat managed to break this was 1. free, 2. multiplayer/easy to share.

One law about requiring the state documents to be submitted in open formats, editable in libre software... and the lock instantly breaks.
