Denmark advances digital sovereignty with Collabora Office
The gist
Denmark's digitisation ministry ended a 38-staff trial of Collabora Office inside its case system F2 without the planned evaluation.
The halt is being read as a verdict on open-source office software across Europe.
How it unfolded
- Jun 19, 2025The Ministry of Digitalisation began a trial of Collabora built into cBrain's F2 case-management system, with 38 staff at the ministry's main office taking part.
- Dec 2025Initial issues with the pilot were leaked to the Danish press; senior Collabora engineers investigated and resolved the reported tickets. Statens IT separately began the 'SIA Open' project for work PCs not dependent on Microsoft products.
- Jun 2026The Danish government was reorganised and the Ministry of Digitization was abolished as a standalone ministry; the pilot was put on hold before the planned evaluation could be completed.
