Leaving SharePoint for a FLOSS document management system: the Eurométropole de Strasbourg case study

SharePoint Server 2016 and 2019 have reached end of support: what do you do with all your documents? The Eurométropole de Strasbourg asked itself the question before you, and chose FLOSS. On Thursday 10 December at 11:10, at Open Source Experience 2026, the local authority takes the stage with Jeci to tell the story of its migration to Pristy Marchés: the why, the how, and what it learned.

When: Thursday 10 December 2026, 11:10 to 11:30
Where: Katherine Johnson room, Paris Porte de Versailles, Hall 5.2
Language: French
Track: Sovereign Enterprise Application Platform
With: Jérémie Lesage (Jeci) and the Eurométropole de Strasbourg

End of SharePoint Server 2016 and 2019: time to choose

When a vendor stops maintaining the software that holds your documents, it leaves you only two options: follow its new offer, often in the cloud and outside Europe, or take back control. The Eurométropole de Strasbourg chose to take back control. To manage its public tenders, it selected Pristy Marchés, an open source document management application (AGPL licence) already proven at the Département du Gard, where it was born.

Twenty minutes from the field, no sales pitch

A document management migration is daunting: thousands of documents, deep-rooted habits, business teams that cannot stop working. This talk shows how we carried it out together, with an agile method, with staff at the heart of the project and a tight schedule.

On the programme

The starting point: the context of the Eurométropole de Strasbourg and its needs
The answer: Pristy Marchés, open source (AGPL), born with the Département du Gard
Being agile on a document management project: what it means in practice
The method: 4 sprints of 3 weeks, priorities readjusted as the business team gave feedback
The filing plan, built in 3 phases, document migration in batches and retention periods
Co-construction, from the Département du Gard to the Eurométropole de Strasbourg
Agile or V-model: what really changes
Where the project stands in December 2026

The speakers

Jérémie Lesage, manager and software engineer at Jeci, is the creator of Pristy. A long-time FLOSS advocate, at PLOSS-RA as at April, he supported the Eurométropole de Strasbourg throughout the project.

Alongside him, a representative of the Eurométropole de Strasbourg will tell the project from the inside: where the need came from, what the teams expected, and how Pristy answered it. The local authority’s view, unfiltered.

Preparing for life after SharePoint too?

You don’t have to start from scratch. With Pristy Connect, we migrate your documents from SharePoint, a file server or Alfresco, with their metadata and permissions, and you keep your organisation. After the talk, come and discuss it with us at booth B16, or book a meeting now so we can set aside time at the show.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a badge to attend the talk?

Yes, the show badge is enough, and it is free with our promo code E-SARXJOS26: get your free badge. It gives access to all talks and to the exhibition area, on 9 and 10 December.

Where and when is the talk?

On Thursday 10 December 2026, from 11:10 to 11:30, Katherine Johnson room, in Hall 5.2 of the Paris Porte de Versailles exhibition centre (entrance A1, Paris 15th). The talk is in French.

Is this talk only about public procurement?

No. The Eurométropole project is about public tenders, but the method applies to any document management migration: filing plan, document migration, involvement of business teams. If you are leaving SharePoint, whatever your use, it concerns you.

Why an agile method for a document management project?

Because a document management system is only worth something if staff adopt it. Rather than specifying everything upfront and delivering in one go, as in a V-model, we moved forward in 4 sprints of 3 weeks: at each step, the business team tests, reacts, and priorities are readjusted. The result: a tool built with those who use it, and a tight schedule kept.

How does this project benefit other local authorities?

Pristy Marchés is FLOSS, under the AGPL licence: it is a digital common. Born with the Département du Gard, the application has grown with the Eurométropole de Strasbourg, and every improvement funded by one benefits all the local authorities that use it. No licence to buy again, no reserved version: what one builds, the others benefit from.

Can I talk with the team after the talk?

Of course: meet us at booth B16 on 9 and 10 December, or book a meeting with our team.

What is Pristy?

Pristy is an online open source software suite. The suite offers document management system (DMS) tools integrating the Collabora Online office suite. It is available hosted at OVH or on your own servers (on-premises). Jeci offers all the services surrounding the DMS: installation, maintenance, hosting, migration, data migration, etc.
