2020. Starting next year, everyone on the Radboud University campus will be working ‘in the cloud’ with a Microsoft Office365 account. The intention is to make collaboration and working from home even easier.

Firstly, as a university, you are putting yourself entirely at the mercy of an American software giant. You won’t be able to escape Microsoft, and that puts the university in a bad negotiating position when changes have to be made.
