I am talking about politicians that are supposed to create the conditions to set this up in a proper, honest and "good" way. As soon as this becomes a "department", nextcloud is not an option because it lacks xyz.

So let's reimplement it worse. All this to justify the need for having an IT department at all.

This is why sometimes I prefer that they just hire some company and that's it. One and done. (More or less).

Also, on a more disturbing note: how do you reduce the costs, when you have public employees....? You can't fire them, or it's nearly impossible to do so. Atos, on the other hand, you can switch.
