One relatively simple thing we're missing on the Swedish cloud market is someone offering OIDC SSO, Chat, Video meetings, e-mail, calendar and file sharing.
I can't even say which European company offers this, Proton maybe?
Being a long time open source advocate I think it can be done, but system integration would never be as good as MS or Google.
But this simple platform would get a lot of SMB's to migrate.
Some comparisons: Singapore is a de-facto single party state with widespread government censorship, heavily limited civil rights, government/ruling party controlled media and heavy ethnic discrimination. Switzerland OTOH is almost a model country for such metrics.
The European Commission has recognized the Swiss Data Protection Act as equivalent to the GDPR. This allows data to continue to flow freely between Switzerland and the EU.
Proton is nowhere near M365 capability set unfortunately. M365 really caters for the big enterprise. Data Loss Protection, integrated security, it has a lot of that stuff in the backend. Not to mention all the gaps in user-facing apps like chat, video, office suite.
Perhaps they will get there but they're nowhere near there right now. You could use it together with MS Office standalone but then you're still dependent on Microsoft.
Um, after “simple” you’ve listed six different kinds of services. Just operating that any kind of nontrivial scale will require quite a bit of headcount.
