MS Office’s General Manager Jared Spataro stated in his blog post, “Office 2019 will add new user and IT capabilities for customers who aren’t yet ready for the cloud. For example, new and improved inking features—like pressure sensitivity, tilt effects, and ink replay—will allow you to work more naturally. New formulas and charts will make data analysis for Excel more powerful. Visual animation features—like Morph and Zoom—will add polish to PowerPoint presentations. Server enhancements will include updates to IT manageability, usability, voice, and security.”

According to Tech Juice, ‘cloud-powered innovation’ will also be an attraction of the new update. The company confirmed that “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.”
