Overview
- France’s prime minister’s office has prepared a formal notice requiring state staff to use Visio, with publication expected in the next few days, according to Dinum.
- Dinum says it will monitor compliance and may in the coming months block traffic from other videoconferencing tools on government networks.
- The policy covers services such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet, with some reports also citing GoTo Meeting and Webex as over‑relied‑upon tools.
- Visio is developed by the Interministerial Digital Authority and runs on infrastructure from French provider Outscale.
- About 40,000 civil servants already use Visio across major institutions, with adoption targeted across all state services by 2027 and an aim of roughly 250,000 users, alongside projected licensing savings reported at about €1 million per 100,000 users.
