At a time of growing concern over the power of the world's mighty tech companies, one German state is turning its back on US giant Microsoft.

In less than three months' time, almost no civil servant, police officer or judge in Schleswig-Holstein will be using any of Microsoft's ubiquitous programs at work.

Again - you’re writing a lot but saying nothing.

What exactly are you talking about? Give specifics. What exactly are Microsoft “holding back”? How are they only keeping the status quo by having the most integrated all-in-one ecosystem on the market?

I’m not sure why you expect teams to be innovative in the first place?

Surely you want to have good digital communication? And surely you want Teams to help people communicate really well? But it sounds like you are satisfied with Teams. It appears you have low expectations of communication. You've read the problems people have posted here. Such as when working with multiple companies different teams. So as a starter, a choice of teams clients is missing. Next, teams is not an open standard. To allow connection with other non Teams networks. Next, Teams attempts to integrate your information. But only allows files pictures and text. Information is so much more. It could be a date, an invite, an invoice, a question, a holiday, an insurance. If it helps, understand that non IT people want to manage this information in a direct, non IT, non text way. MS products rank very low in this regard. If all you can imagine is what MS has, then maybe you might understand when it's put in front of you.

You’re still not giving specifics or making any sense.

“Information could be a holiday, an insurance”

What on earth are you talking about?
