Administering Office 2016 for Mac

Speaker: William Smith

Microsoft announced a public beta of Office 2016 for Mac (v15) in early March with plans to release the final bits in the latter half of this year. Support for Office for Mac 2011 (v14) ends January 2016 (this may be extended), leaving just a few months to plan and deploy the new software or go without support for the old software. Will you be ready to upgrade?
