    I skimmed the article and it feels like they're comparing apples (Visio) to oranges (MS teams, zoom). One begin a software product, the other being a service.

    There's a fair amount of work to be done before the French infrastructure runs this service as reliably as current commercial offerings.

    (Not saying it's undoable, but this isn't the drop in replacement the article seems to imply)

      They aren't comparing apples to oranges because they are not making a comparison, they are just informing that French government built their own meeting app to replace Zoom and Teams.

      And they are already running it, replacing both Zoom and Teams, and not only them, but La Suite Numerique includes other software as well.
