I'm surprised those agencies cannot setup their own infrastructure to be honest. We're not talking about high volumes of traffic, this is mostly internal tools

We're not talking about high volumes of traffic, this is mostly internal tools for few hundreds/thousands people, of those few dozens at best concurrently connected?
With all due respect those are few servers worth of hardware plus redundancy, plus all the security you want.

- realityking 3y agoThe European Commission (which is the institution in question here) has a staff of about 32000 people. Other institutions (parliament, the courts, independent bodies) have their own staff. And while heavily concentrated in Brussels, they’re spread throughout the entire EU and also include 144 delegations abroad. This is not a small setup.
- epolanski 3y agoThis is still nothing particularly heavy, I've run with systems with far more concurrent users a decade ago on a handful of servers. Imho the real devil is the reliance on the suite itself, which is hard to replace, especially when you get mail/calendar/sharepoint/office/etc all bundled in one.

The question is about processes, documents, revisions, access levels, interdepartmental access, policies, and a billion other details.
