Reduce costs and improve security
We introduced Click-to-Run (C2R), a modern deployment technology, in Office 2013, and it’s now used to deploy and update Office across hundreds of millions of devices worldwide. With Office 2019, we’re moving the on-premises versions of Office to C2R to reduce costs and improve security.
Enterprise-focused management capabilities
C2R offers the same enterprise-focused management capabilities as Microsoft Installer (MSI) based products and will also support an in-place upgrade when you move to Office 2019 from older MSI-based products. The advantages of C2R include predictable:
monthly security updates
up-to-date apps on installation
reduced network consumption*
easy upgrade path to Office 365 ProPlus
* Reduced network consumption through Windows 10 download optimization technology.
