The cloud is where businesses need to invest, where innovations happen, and where solutions to empower their customers are. Both Office 20 arrived in September, each in its respective year.Īccording to Microsoft’s corporate vice president, Jared Spataro, the company acknowledges that future work relies on the power of the cloud. Previous releases give an idea of when consumers can expect the release. The arrival date could be any time between now and the end of 2021. Microsoft has scheduled to release Office 2021 as the year progresses. The new version will not require a Microsoft 365 subscription and is available for Windows and Mac. These are some factors that saw the company announce the release of an Office update. Others want to use the additional features to the traditional software but do not want to keep up with the subscription. Unfortunately, not all of its customers were ready to move their software applications to the cloud. Users would need to have Office 365 ProPlus or upgrade to Office 2019 to connect to Office 365. In adjusting to the trend, Microsoft announced some major changes in 2020.

Microsoft expects businesses to use Office LTSC in specific scenarios rather than rolling it out across an entire organization. Microsoft explains that Office LTSC is for "regulated devices that cannot accept feature updates for years at a time, process control devices on the manufacturing floor that are not connected to the internet, and specialty systems that must stay locked in time and require a long-term servicing channel." Office LTSC is for a different use case than Office 2021.
