Gregory's Server@PaGn that's still 400 euros just in licenses per employee going to one company, and I would bet the vast majority only need essential productivity tools. It's not sustainable particularly when you consider that most government departments are strapped for budget and could use that money elsewhere.
@tarakiyee
I agree that most activities are far from "sustainable".
But it's not really one company, nor one central IT. It's 31 supreme federal government authorities, about 70(?) Higher federal authorities below plus some attachments.
And their MS infrastructure (Standard: Exchange, Active Directory, Outlook, maybe Sharepoint, MS SQL etc.) is usually still decentralized, efforts to concentrate it on a single service provider (IZT Bund) have been delayed/stalled.
So 400€pP? Still cheap! ;)
