For SMBs: fleet audit, alternatives to Office and Microsoft 365, a pilot, then wave-by-wave migration. Real compatibility decides, not ideology.
Not sure where to start?
Before committing, we validate it works. Hardware inventory, business apps testing, real blocker identification, costed cutover plan.
Wave-by-wave cutover of 5 to 10 workstations to limit friction. Backup, install, data, apps, user training in the same day.
Adobe, AutoCAD, Sage, sector software: case-by-case evaluation. Wine, Bottles, Windows VM, or native alternative — we choose what works, not what's preferred.
The 2 weeks after a cutover are critical. Dedicated helpdesk, training sessions, user docs, continuous care if you want. Prevents users from panicking back to Windows.
These public sources make usage, catalogues and technical guidance verifiable without turning an institutional example into a commercial promise.
The reference catalogue is evolving into decision support based on explicit assessment criteria.

Three common approaches help frame the discussion. The choice depends on your tolerance for change, business applications and actual obligations.
Very non-technical teams, critical dependence on Microsoft 365 + Adobe, low sensitivity to sovereignty or recurring costs.
Recurring spend and concentrated dependencies need ongoing review. Compliance depends on architecture, contracts and usage, regardless of vendor.
SMBs starting progressively: Linux OS + open office tools + Nextcloud, while retaining genuinely critical Windows applications. Timing is defined after the pilot.
Some SaaS or Windows applications remain. The first benefit is dependency control; savings are only stated after an inventory and costed assessment.
SMBs with mostly web or cross-platform applications and a strong need to control technical and contractual dependencies.
A more demanding transition: some business applications need an alternative or VM, or must remain in place. The outcome also depends on hosting and suppliers.
The right choice depends on your context. We often start with hybrid and progressively extend to full open source as the team and apps follow.
“€590 for a targeted migration audit that validates feasibility before committing. €250 per standard workstation for the full cutover (install, data, apps, training). Fleet packages with volume discounts beyond 20 workstations.
Adobe, AutoCAD, Windows-only business software: Wine compatibility, lightweight Windows VM or native alternative. Evaluated during pilot.
Progressive exit from Microsoft 365 to OnlyOffice or LibreOffice + Nextcloud hosted in France. Data brought back, sharing scoped.
A structured session with your internal owner to transfer routines, procedures and responses to common incidents.
Migration is not an event, it's a habit shift. Here is how we support (or not) what comes next.
We are not asking SMBs to copy the State. The SILL, La Suite numérique and ANSSI technical guidance provide verifiable public references for open-source software and architectures. They show that these components can be operated seriously, while each SMB still needs to decide from its applications, people and a prior pilot.
