The new enhancements in Office
2019 are a subset of a long list of features that have been added to Office
365 ProPlus over the last three years. Office 2019 is a one-time release
and won’t receive future feature updates. However, we’ll continue to add new
features to Office 365 ProPlus monthly, including innovations in
collaboration, artificial intelligence (AI), security, and more.
Office 2019 delivers features
across apps to help users create amazing content in less time. In PowerPoint
2019, you can create cinematic presentations with new features like Morph and
Zoom. And improved inking features across the apps in Windows—like the roaming
pencil case, pressure sensitivity, and tilt effects—allow you to naturally
create documents.
Excel 2019 adds powerful new
data analysis features, including new formulas and charts and enhancements to
PowerPivot.
Word 2019 and Outlook 2019 help
you focus on what matters most. Learning Tools, like Read Aloud and Text
Spacing, make it easier to engage with your content. Focus Mode blocks out
distractions and puts your content front and center. And Focused Inbox moves
less important emails out of the way—so you can get straight to taking care of
business. For a longer list of the new features in Office 2019.
Office 2019 also includes new IT
value for enhanced security and streamlined administration. We introduced
Click-to-Run (C2R), a modern deployment technology, in Office 2013, and it’s
now used to deploy and update Office across hundreds of millions of devices
worldwide. With Office 2019, we’re moving the on-premises versions of
Office to C2R to reduce costs and improve security. The advantages of C2R
include predictable monthly security updates, up-to-date apps on installation,
reduced network consumption through Windows 10 download optimization
technology, and an easy upgrade path to Office 365 ProPlus. C2R
offers the same enterprise-focused management capabilities as Microsoft
Installer (MSI) based products and will also support an in-place upgrade when
you move to Office 2019 from older MSI-based products.
The 2019 release of Office
products also includes updates to our servers, and in the coming weeks, we will
release Exchange Server 2019, Skype for Business Server 2019, SharePoint Server
2019, and Project Server 2019.
Office 2019 is a valuable update
for customers who aren’t yet ready for the cloud. And each time we release a
new on-premises version of Office, customers ask us if this will be our last.
We’re pleased to confirm that we’re committed to another on-premises release in
the future. While the cloud offers real benefits in productivity, security, and
total cost of ownership, we recognize that each customer is at a different
point in their adoption of cloud services. We see the on-premises version of
Office as an important part of our commitment to give customers the flexibility
they need to move to the cloud at their own pace.
