They should consider LibreOffice if they don’t need cloud features.

Thing is, cloud features are very good for being productivity. And also for minimising mistakes, because you dont have multiple copies.

Long before clouds was a thing we had servers and local networks and shared drives. We still have servers and private vpns to connect to them to access shard drives.

I 100% agree. But it didnt work like it does today.
You could not collab, because the software wasnt build to take advantage of shared drives, which will bring back all the following issues as before.
Best case is open source software with the same funtionality as Docs or Word, but you can hook it up to any servers at setup.
Build a Wireguard VPN inside the programs for making it just as easy for the masses to use them.
I dont want the “cloud”. I just want the same productivity.

There use to schemes to provide flexible locking to allow multiple people to edit documents located on the same local network. Never liked it nuch but others did. I expect that it is possible to develop and achieve shared documents and concurrent editing etc without Google. Maybe dust off old concepts etc.
