EU Ruling on Microsoft Teams: A Turning Point for Digital Sovereignty
October 23, 2025
On 12 September 2025, the European Commission accepted a series of commitments from Microsoft aimed at addressing competition concerns surrounding the bundling of Teams with its Office 365 / Microsoft 365 productivity suites. The ruling is a landmark case in Europe’s ongoing mission to ensure fair competition, consumer choice, and digital sovereignty in the age of Big Tech. At RealTyme, we see this as more than just a regulatory milestone. It validates what we have always believed — that organizations, institutions, and governments deserve choice, sovereignty, and control when it comes to communication and collaboration platforms. In this article, we’ll unpack the EU decision, explore its implications for businesses and regulators, and show why RealTyme has already built the alternative that the future demands.
