The counterpoint is that they don't need to be on par :-/ The problem is that individual procurement decision-makers are incentivised to go with the Microsoft suite, not that the alternatives aren't a good enough replacement.

I'd say they are incentivized to go with the suite that offers the most compatibility with their clients and partners.

    If that were true, they'd have ditched Microsoft already. Since they didn't, I'm skeptical that that is their incentive.
