They already developed alternatives for Microsoft Office:

https://lasuite.numerique.gouv.fr/produits/docs as an alternative to word

https://lasuite.numerique.gouv.fr/produits/grist as an alternative for excel and data management (much better than excel in my opinion)

It's open source, actively developed with Germany and the Netherlands (as I'm writing this post the last commit to doc was 49min ago) and self hostableby any administration or company who want to do it.
