In a comment piece for connect professional, Open-Xchange's Frank Hoberg examines how increasing federal government spend on hyperscaler licenses and low investment in European solutions is reinforcing digital dependence, and calls for a rethink to drive digital sovereignty. The article highlights that this is a problem for countries across Europe, not only Germany, and discusses openDesk, the open alternative office suite from Zentrum Digitale Souveränität (ZenDiS). It also looks at the state of Schleswig-Holstein, which is the first to move to completely open source solutions. ➡️ Read the article here: https://lnkd.in/dpseb8-v #digitalsovereignty #OpenXchange #SchleswigHolstein #openDesk #opensource
𝗟𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗻𝘇𝗸𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻 – 𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗮𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗔𝗯𝗵ä𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗴𝗸𝗲𝗶𝘁 𝘄ä𝗰𝗵𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗲𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗿?! Ein Gastkommentar von Frank Hoberg (Open-Xchange) bringt eine unbequeme Entwicklung auf den Punkt: Die IT-Ausgaben des Bundes für Microsoft-Lizenzen haben sich binnen zwei Jahren fast verdoppelt. Gleichzeitig fließt nur ein Bruchteil in europäische Alternativen. „𝘚𝘰𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘔𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘢𝘯 𝘚𝘵𝘦𝘶𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘭𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘯 𝘢𝘯 𝘔𝘪𝘤𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘰𝘧𝘵 & 𝘊𝘰. 𝘧𝘭𝘪𝘦ß𝘦𝘯, 𝘸𝘪𝘳𝘥 𝘥𝘪𝘦 𝘈𝘣𝘩ä𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘨𝘬𝘦𝘪𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘪𝘣𝘦𝘯“, ist Frank Hoberg überzeugt. Die zentralen Punkte seines Plädoyers: • +75 % Kostensteigerung seit 2023 – allein beim Bund fast 500 Mio. € jährlich • Lock-in-Effekt: steigende Supportkosten und Cloud-Zwang erhöhen Wechselbarrieren • Europäische Initiativen wie openDesk bleiben massiv unterfinanziert • US Cloud Act bleibt strukturelles Risiko – auch für „souveräne“ Cloud-Angebote • Beispiel Schleswig-Holstein zeigt: Umstieg auf Open Source ist machbar Der Gastkommentar macht deutlich: Der Konflikt ist weniger technisch als politisch – und Entscheidungen werden zunehmend dringlich.
