A Danish ministry spokesperson reportedly said in early October 2026 that officials had no plans to resume the country’s limited Collabora Office pilot. The test involved one ministry; it was not a government-wide replacement of Microsoft Office.
What Denmark’s pilot tested
The test paired Collabora Office, which is based on LibreOffice, with cBrain’s F2 administrative platform. Reported figures put the group at 38 ministry employees; Collabora described about 40 users. The pilot let participants use Collabora Office alongside Microsoft Office while working with documents stored in F2 and Microsoft-compatible formats, according to Collabora’s account.
Reported problems and the unfinished evaluation
Reported user complaints included styles, paragraph formatting, unexpected blank pages and track changes. Collabora said its engineers investigated and resolved reported issue tickets. The company also said the pilot was put on hold before its planned evaluation, and that no formal final assessment of Collabora Office’s suitability was completed.
Why the pilot was interrupted
Collabora attributed the pause to a June 2026 government reorganization that ended the Ministry of Digitization’s standalone status and, in the company’s account, left the pilot without its original organizational setting. Another reported account placed the pilot’s end in spring 2026. These accounts also reflect a dispute between ministers: Christina Egelund reportedly said the previous government had not continued the project, while Caroline Stage denied abandoning it and said she had extended it.
