The Danish Ministry of Digitalization, as soon as brought to the agenda, to Linux and Libreoffice in computer systems passes.
The Danish Ministry of Digitalization does not aim to reduce costs by moving to Linux and Libreoffice instead of Windows and Office 365. The Ministry realizes such a change because it wants to have control over its own data and systems. Danish Digitalization Minister Caroline Stage Olsen says: “This is not a matter of isolation or digital nationalism. We should not completely turn our backs to global technology companies; many of them offer solutions that we benefit from. This is valid for both today and the future. We should not make it dependent on a small number of companies that we cannot act freely. Currently, most of the digital infrastructure in the public sphere, very few foreign suppliers/company. This makes us vulnerable.”According to the statement made by the Ministry, the transition process will be realized over time. Half of the ministry personnel will pass to Libreoffice and Linux between June and August. The remaining personnel will perform the same transition between September and November.
