Meeting the needs of public institutions 1. Meeting the needs of public institutions Many government agencies use LibreOffice for cost or digital sovereignty reasons. By making ODT files compatible with Office 365, Microsoft is positioning itself as a complementary solution, or even a viable alternative, for institutions wishing to migrate to the cloud without abandoning their existing formats. 2. Advantage for hybrid businesses In business environments where LibreOffice and Microsoft Office coexist, this compatibility facilitates workflows. Companies can thus integrate employees using LibreOffice without compromising their Office 365 and OneDrive-based infrastructure. 3. Open strategy to build loyalty Finally, this feature is part of Microsoft's broader strategy: to build user loyalty by offering them an open platform capable of handling competing formats. This reinforces the value of Office 365 as a universal solution, while gradually attracting LibreOffice users to its ecosystem.
