Emergency Collaboration Environment: A Microsoft-Independent Solution

Emergency Collaboration Environment: A Microsoft-Independent Solution

Overview

This concept proposes creating a Microsoft-independent emergency business collaboration environment to ensure continuity of operations if Microsoft services become unavailable. The system will run on Linux and include essential functionalities such as Single Sign-On (SSO), Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), email, chat, and document management.

The environment will be designed to operate mostly offline, with periodic updates and tests to ensure readiness. A comprehensive approach involving design, architecture, implementation, and proof-of-concept testing will be employed to identify the most suitable products and configurations. This setup aims to maintain access to critical documents and collaboration tools, ensuring smooth business operations during disruptions.
