Was it just me or was the video light on details? It didn't mention how they are deshittifying, what they use, their current progress, satisfaction, and so on. If companies want to leave Microsoft, having some kind of track record of other companies doing so could help.
Some euro cities have taken the plunge also. Mandates of public tax dollars should not fund a private solution, and data sovereignty away from the USA.
The biggest hurdle I see for companies is excel, it is used and mis-used across all industries. Some running entire company production and reporting via macroed excel work books.
All the other apps are easy to find better tools for anyway, but excel has people locked in, making a switch a painful process.
At my first job for a big, publicly traded company ($30B mkt cap at the time) i was shocked that the tool we used for generating POs was this excel sheet that some guy had written 10 years ago and nobody bothered to replace it even as the company grew to be huge.
Its crazy right. One place I was at was using it as a database.. I'm like Databases exist!! Even if you didn't want another software vendor, you could make use of MS Access.
