> synergy effects lead to tax savings, because there is no per-seat license cost
How much are we talking ? Also there are good reasons that large organisations use enterprise software such as (I think) redHat in this case.. It's dedicated support mainly and security.
Maybe I'm being too cynical, I love open source and absolutely a proponent of its benefits, however I do know when sometimes it's not the right fit.

Independence and much higher overhead to ensure everything goes smoothly.

Big +1. Company margins are real but they're not orders of magnitude. If you're spending $100MM/year on a corporate product, trying to spend less than let's say $80MM/year simply means that you're not serious about the migration. I wish they would say, "we will take all this money and invest it into making the new OSS product better for our internal customers (government office workers). There will be no savings for now, we will just get more sovereignty and control for about the same spend.
