Microsoft Corporation has commenced the worldwide distribution of Office 2016. The apps are the latest addition to new and enhanced Office 365 services, which is Microsoft’s cloud-based subscription service that helps people do their best work, together.
“The way people work has changed dramatically, and that is why Microsoft is focused on re-inventing productivity and business processes for the mobile-first, cloud-first world,” the Chief Executive Officer of Microsoft, Satya Nadella, said.
He also said, “By subscribing to Office 365, customers can get always-up-to-date, fully installed apps for use across their devices, combined with a continually evolving set of consumer and commercial services, such as OneDrive online storage, Skype for Business, Delve, Yammer and enterprise-grade security features.”
“Cortana connects with Office 365 to help with tasks such as meeting preparation, with Outlook integration coming in November,” he concluded.
The new Office 2016 apps are available in 40 languages and require Windows 7 or later versions. Starting today, Office 365 subscribers can choose to download the new Office 2016 apps as part of their subscription, Microsoft said in an official statement.
