> IAM can stay MS That's leaving the most critical component still with a US company. Doesn't fly if the goal is what the Danish agency is trying to achieve. > It actually depends how you use it. Obviously but the larger the company, the more ways to use it, and one of those ways will be a nightmare to tackle. You want one solution, not a patchwork. So the one that does everything gets picked. MS throws everything and the kitchen sink in their ecosystem to fit every need even if sometimes at mediocre or crappy quality. > For Teams, as long as you use it for conferencing and chat (no file sharing or editing), you can replace it with Slack Taken in isolation you're right. But in a world of network effects every company, supplier, service provider you work with might use Teams and you can federate. Switch to Slack alone and you make your life harder. I mentioned this in another comment, if protocols and formats were mandated to be open or interoperable (in practice) to allow usage in the public sector, replacing MS would be a notch or 2 simpler.
