At the council where I work, vendor lock in is not a concern at
all, quite the opposite. One of the merits is that everything is
likely to integrate without an issue. Sharepoint, exchange, ms
office, ms sql all work together to deliver the service. You can't
just replace MS office with LibreOffice and get the same service.
I believe that the easiest solution to implement and see savings
from are servers. My place for example has 5 DC's all doing 1 or 2
roles. Replacing these with Linux based DHCP and DNS servers would
save over £1000 in licensing fees
The problem with trying to replace ms office is that many
organisations will have a 5 year enterprise site license which they
have paid for, so there is no cost to keep deploying and upgrading
the office suite and therefore there is no reason to move to a free
alternative.

Mmm.
It probably takes 5 years to migrate anyway?
