After promoting the use of open source software in recent years, it is expected that the German city of Munich will return to Microsoft solutions, starting with Exchange for Email and Calendars. According to a report from TechRepublic, the Munich city council decided to skip open source work in a Kolab group of Microsoft Exchange to change just after the advice also the use of Linux, a custom version of Ubuntu in favor of Windows 10, reconsider it.
While a spokesman for the Munich city council has not fulfilled this comment, Günther Meyer, co-chairman of the Pirate Party in Munich, shared that they worked several months of Exchange. A migration to Outlook will begin soon. "If this work is carried out behind the scenes, Matthias Kirschner, president of the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE), provisionally declared that" there is no agreement that the final decision is taken by the members of the board after having I received a cost calculation. "
The city of Munich has spent a lot of time and money in replacing Microsoft's open source software solutions, where the latter is possible. It is not clear why the board is considering now returning to Microsoft, although a recent Accenture study has revealed several problems in relation to employees and IT staff. "The LHM [city of Munich] works with obsolete, partially insecure, generally extremely difficult information that wastes a lot of time and productivity," the report said.
