Is it a coincidence that Office 2016 is the 16th version release of the vital suite of programmes for business and personal users? Maybe, but it’s a release we’re looking forward to, and you should be too.
Here are a few reasons why, and what it means for businesses:
Even more Flexibility and Compatibility across Devices
Office 365 for business revolutionised the way companies large and small organise and collect data, collaborate, and communicate. Office 2016 goes a few steps further.
Two Versions of Office 2016 for Optimised Working
Regardless of which platform you’re running it on, both versions offer the same features, working in tandem and offering similar functionality, although the mobile versions offer slightly less functionality. This makes sense as they’re designed for on-the-go use rather than complex desk operations or lengthy document creation. Office 2016 is compatible across all platforms – Windows, iOS, or Android.
Microsoft has promised no legacy issues with this update to the Office 365 suite of programmes. Whereas with previous version updates some users have found problems with older spreadsheets or running existing macros, Office 2016 makes no changes to macro abilities. All your existing macros will still work.
There is also a new version of Skype for business which closely resembles the Skype we’re familiar with, but which includes integration into the other apps to make it easier for businesses to use. This is a replacement for Lync, Microsoft’s current communication tool.
This is just a quick overview of some of the changes coming in Office 2016. There are also improvements in security and other behind the scenes aspects that IT managers or developers will appreciate. For users, it will be a smooth upgrade that enhances productivity in a seamless way, without any complicated learning curves to slow you down.
Office 2016 launches later this year, and we’d be delighted to help you get ready or explain more about the differences and how upgrading will help your business.
