The new Office - what we love about it...

  • Article

In case you missed it the new Office is already available to volume license customers and later this month it will launch to consumers.

Here are a few things that we love about the new Office...

The new Office delivers your Office applications anywhere, all optimized for the best experience across your devices – from PCs to smartphones to tablets.

  • Stay Connected - It helps you stay connected with new tools such as high-definition video conferencing, enterprise social networking newsfeeds that provide real time updates on people, documents & discussions and Site Mailboxes that keep all team communications and documents in sync.
  • Security without compromise - It helps you keep your company’s data safe and your business compliant with enterprise-grade data loss prevention tools, built-in malware protection and integrated compliance functionality.
  • Run it the way you want to - You can run the new Office the way you want, with flexible deployment options that allow you to run it on-premises, as a hosted service or as a hybrid of both.
