France to Phase Out Teams, Zoom for Domestically Developed Platform
David Amiel, France's minister-delegate for the civil service and state reform, revealed the initiative Monday, designed to bolster security and confidentiality for public sector communications, diminish dependence on non-European digital infrastructure, and improve interdepartmental collaboration, a statement indicated.
The transition is projected to yield substantial financial benefits, with savings estimated at up to €1 million ($1.1 million) per 100,000 users migrating away from licensed software.
"This project is a concrete illustration of the Prime Minister and the Government's commitment to regaining our digital independence. We cannot risk having our scientific exchanges, our sensitive data, and our strategic innovations exposed to non-European actors," Amiel said.
"Digital sovereignty is simultaneously an imperative for our public services, an opportunity for our businesses and insurance against future threats," he added.
Visio, initiated as a pilot program one year prior, currently boasts 40,000 active users and is progressively expanding to 200,000 employees, developed with assistance from the National Cybersecurity Agency of France (ANSSI).
