Today\u2019s post was written by <\/em>Jared Spataro, general manager for Office.<\/em><\/p>\n Today, at Microsoft Ignite in Orlando, we announced Office 2019\u2014the next perpetual update for Office. This release, scheduled for the second half of 2018, will include perpetual versions of the Office apps (including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, and Skype for Business) and servers (including Exchange, SharePoint, and Skype for Business). Previews of the new products will start shipping mid-year 2018.<\/p>\n Office 2019 will add new user and IT capabilities for customers who aren\u2019t yet ready for the cloud.\u00a0For example, new and improved inking features\u2014like pressure sensitivity, tilt effects, and ink replay\u2014will allow you to work more naturally. New formulas and charts will make data analysis for Excel more powerful. Visual animation features\u2014like Morph and Zoom\u2014will add polish to PowerPoint presentations. Server enhancements will include updates to IT manageability, usability, voice, and security.<\/p>\n Cloud-powered innovation is a major theme at Ignite this week. But we recognize that moving to the cloud is a journey with many considerations along the way. Office 2019 will be a valuable upgrade for customers who feel that they need to keep some or all of their apps and servers on-premises, and we look forward to sharing more details about the release in the coming months.<\/p>\n \u2014Jared Spataro<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Today\u2019s post was written by Jared Spataro, general manager for Office.
