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<p>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<p>\u2014Jared Spataro<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today\u2019s post was written by Jared Spataro, general manager for Office.
