Earlier this year, Microsoft released Office 2016 suite for Mac, but to only users with an Office 365 subscription. Yesterday the company finally made the suite available globally, making it the first major update the suite has received since Office 2013
Office 2016 brings a host of new features including much requested real-time collaboration that has long been available on the web version of Office 2013 and Google Docs, co-authoring support on Word, Skype for Business integration and more.
Excel, trying to allow you make the most of your data now allows publishing to Power BI and new modern chart-types. Office 365 Group, now part of Outlook 2016 and an Outlook app on iOS, Android and Windows Phone allows users easily create public or private teams, including shared inbox, calendar along with cloud storage, making collaboration quite easy.
Skype for Business, previous called Lync now been integrated with Office comes in handy as it allows users co-authoring a document, chat with each other, share screens and set up meetings right on Office apps.
Additionally, Office 2016 has brought some enterprise data protection-focused features like the Data Loss Prevention (DLP) tool created to “significantly reduce the risk of leaking sensitive data by giving IT admins tools to centrally create, manage and enforce policies for content authoring and document sharing”. Obviously a convenient tool. Later this year, Enterprise Data Protection (EDP) which allows more secure corporate content sharing across corporate managed apps and network/cloud locations, preventing inadvertent content sharing outside corporate boundaries will be enabled by default in Windows 10, with support in Office Mobile.
Microsoft has noted that Office 365 Business subscribers should at the end of this month expect an update to its OneDrive for Business sync client, promising enhanced reliability and selective sync on Mac and Windows.
