Microsoft alternative: Nextcloud and Ionos develop open-source ‘Euro-Office’ - Reddthat
>Nextcloud, Ionos and other partners are developing an open-source office suite
under the project name „Euro-Office“ as an alternative to the market-dominant
Microsoft Office. > >The two partners are not starting from scratch, but have
forked the components of OnlyOffice available as open-source code and want to
build on them. In the summer, the software is then intended to replace the
previous office component Collabora in Nextcloud and the Ionos Nextcloud
Workspace. A ‘technical preview’ is already available on GitHub
[https://github.com/Euro-Office/]. While this is a good news, I think they
should move from github, you know microslop copilot…
Are there any real, actually good replacements for Excel? As a daily power user, every alternative I’ve tried to date pales in comparison.
I hear this argument a lot but no one ever gives details as to what common features excel has vs say libreoffice. I’m really curious, because i’d like to contribute free time in this direction.
What I always find missing in all these Excel vs. other spreadsheet software debates is the rationale for using a spreadsheet in the first place. I work a lot with large corporations, and it’s often the case that they can’t move away from Excel because, in the past, they relied on it to solve a process in a way that—at least today—could and should be handled better.
Perhaps we should question the process more often and the Excel alternatives less.
The issue is that a lot of processes need to be understood by people who have no IT background. Your basic office drones need to be able to use it, enter data, and make changes. Every applicant in an office job will be relatively proficient in Excel.
If you move your process to another solution, the majority of your employees will have to be re-trained.
