Core Viewpoint - The article discusses Airbus's challenging journey to migrate from Microsoft Office to Google Workspace, highlighting the complexities and difficulties faced in this transition despite initial optimism about completing the migration within 18 months [1][6]. Migration Plan - Airbus aimed to eliminate local deployment of Microsoft Office and transition all employees to Google Workspace, viewing this as a strategic decision for digital transformation [3][4]. - The former CEO Tom Enders emphasized the need for modern digital tools to support new collaborative work methods across teams and time zones [4][5]. Challenges in Migration - The initial estimate of 18 months for the migration was overly optimistic, as the number of employees increased from 130,000 to 150,000 during the process, leading to a mixed usage of both Google and Microsoft tools [7][6]. - Key reasons for the inability to fully transition include: - Excel's unmatched capability in handling large datasets, with some financial spreadsheets containing up to 20 million cells, exceeding Google Sheets' processing capacity [8][9]. - Certain teams requiring advanced document management features that Google Workspace currently lacks, such as rigorous change tracking for contracts [10]. - Regulatory and data security constraints preventing sensitive documents from being stored in the cloud, necessitating continued reliance on local solutions [11]. Mixed Usage and Compatibility Issues - The ongoing mixed usage of Google and Microsoft tools has resulted in high costs and compatibility issues, with employees facing challenges related to document format inconsistencies and collaborative conflicts [11][12]. - The digital transformation process is not merely a technical issue but involves reengineering workflows, adjusting responsibilities, and potentially reshaping organizational culture [12]. Public Reaction - The article notes public reactions to Airbus's migration challenges, with some expressing surprise at the scale of data handled and others reflecting on the inertia of employees accustomed to Excel [12][13]. - Criticism arose regarding the decision to switch to another American tech giant, questioning the rationale behind the migration when local solutions were already effective [13].
