Does anyone in the EU (or elsewhere?!) have links to any case studies about migrating from Microsoft to #opensource / #libre / #FOSS that include actual financial figures?

@lightweight I think a lot of people would like to see the project figures for the Schleswig-Holstein roll out. My partner is from there, maybe I should get her to ring them up ☎️

This is quite interesting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adoption_of_free_and_open-source_software_by_public_institutions - about the Schleswig-Holstein migration. No figures that I caught, but full respect to the German presenters presenting in English!

@lightweight Portuguese insurance company Tranquilidade migrates desktops to GNU/Linux, reported a costs cut of 80%.Here's a link to a presentation about it, there is a study case paper about it published somewhere, but probably in Portuguese. https://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/desktop-linux-na-tranquilidade-opentech-2014/36740025Maybe @gvlx knows where the paper can be found (or other migration stories with figures).

@marado @lightweight They had already migrated the servers to #RHEL some years ago.I should be collecting that information, but sadly I have very little (that's public).

@gvlx @marado seems to me that we need to start collecting this sort of information on a global level so that it's easy to find...

@lightweight Not a study but ask for real world projects and compare the output.Germany's Schleswig-Holstein replaced Windows and MS365. Maybe they have the data of expected savings and actual data.@landesregierung Maybe there are some more shifters?#opensource #libre #FOSS
