Danish Government silently drops plan to dump MS Office

The Danish government has quietly abandoned a plan to implement an open-source alternative to Microsoft Office, called 'Pappl', which was supposed to be rolled out nationwide. Pappl was developed by the Danish government's IT agency, Digitaliseringsministeriet, in cooperation with the University of Copenhagen and the IT company, Suncode. The project aimed to create a suite of office software that could replace Microsoft Office, but it appears that the plan has been dropped without any public announcement. The Pappl project was initially launched in 2019, and it had received funding of around DKK 20 million (approximately $3 million USD). Although the project's website and documentation are still available, there is no indication of any further development or updates.
