Due to the high range of different programs, the Professional Plus variant is mainly aimed at people who work at a home office or in a small office, looking for a powerful, reliable solution to organize documents, spreadsheets and more.

Word 2019 is the most powerful document-authoring tool. From everyday "paperwork" to official company documents, Word's functionality spans the full range of copywriting. New in this edition is an improved virtual ink recognition system, so writing with a stylus directly on the screen is now better translated into typing. In addition, the voice input has been improved.

Also, the scaling and other measures for image editing are greatly improved.

At the enterprise level, Access 2019 provides a powerful solution for creating and managing databases of all kinds. The new version supports the generation of database applications that work directly in the browser, optimizing its size. Stored data then ends up in SQL databases where secure access exists. Publisher 2019, however, improves the quality for the publication of graphics of all kinds: for presentations, for advertising, for flyers, magazines & Co. In detail, Microsoft has improved significantly Office 2019 Professional Plus.

When working with spreadsheets, Excel 2019 continues to offer the best features: spreadsheets of all types, from financials to product databases, to tax filing, etc. The features you know and love are enhanced in this release. Improvements include new information visualizations. Additionally, more mathematical functions are integrated in this version. The excellent compatibility with CSV files remains in this version. Another upgrade is PowerPoint 2019, which now offers the option of integrating recordings in Ultra HD directly into presentations, as well as scaling graphics and zooming in and out of images.

This creates a good opportunity to keep information about customers and partners updated and easy to access. In addition, the application supports the creation of any number of e-mail accounts. Across all programs, Office 2019 Professional Plus provides an enhanced interface that has been integrated into every application for more than a decade. The workflow extends beyond any application and is very similar everywhere - whether in Word, Excel, Outlook or PowerPoint.

Office 2019 Professional Plus is limited by Microsoft to use with Windows 10 and Windows 10S. This means that none of the included programs are compatible with an older edition of Windows operating system. Furthermore, this program collection is a license that belongs entirely to the buyer. The use is possible after purchase, indefinitely and without further subscriptions. For all editions of Office 2019, Microsoft grants a minimum 5-year support period on all devices.

Visio

Microsoft Visio remains the best tool in Professional Edition 2019 to design business diagrams, using industry-standard such as IEEE. In addition, Microsoft has made thousands of improvements and has introduced new features to make it easier to work on projects in larger teams. Thus, the software is explicitly aimed at professional users. Nevertheless, the well-known easy entry level into the program is maintained, which is achieved mainly by countless templates and the Office interface. Each buyer will continue to receive 2GB of free storage on Microsoft's own OneDrive cloud solution.

Graphing is possible in Microsoft Visio Professional 2019 immediately after the program starts: hundreds of templates based on a selection of more than 250,000 forms ensure this. In addition, as the desktop application constantly updates itself, new templates are added regularly. To do this, Visio Professional 2019 supports web-based display of diagrams or the output as a PDF file for users who do not use Visio on their device. Comments that other users subsequently place in the diagram are also immediately visible to the creator of the project allowing instant feedback.

In addition, for Visio Professional 2019 and Windows 10, Microsoft has improved support for fingerprints and pens such as the Microsoft Surface Pen. Graphs can be refined using natural input methods, using virtual ink or fingers to color, move, rearrange charts, and much more. This also facilitates the use of the program on a tablet such as the iPad Pro, for which a separate app is available in the Apple Store. To better collaborate with others, annotate features have been enhanced and the integration of Skype for Business into the user interface has been enhanced.

New data is imported directly from other popular programs such as Excel in Microsoft Visio Professional 2019. This saves time when editing charts, as manual entries are rarer. To liven up those diagrams and even present large amounts of information, countless colors, shapes and graphics are available to focus on the data that is really important to the viewer. In addition, the program supports the integration of drawings created in the AutoCAD software. This, too, extends the range of functions considerably, since even complex shapes become possible.

As soon as data of any kind that was previously integrated into the chart changes, Microsoft Visio Professional 2019 will immediately change the appearance of the project. For this purpose, the program permanently scans the integrated data - no matter where they came from and whether they are available locally or in the network - and then immediately forwards changes to the current diagram. This keeps everyone working on this project in sync and working together on a single version of this chart. Avoiding manual updates also makes the work process easier and saves a lot of time in the long run.

Microsoft has developed Visio Professional 2019 to be compatible with only one of the editions of Windows 10 and Windows 10S. It is not possible to run the software with an older version of Windows. Furthermore, this offer is a single license for a desktop PC or notebook. There are no additional subscription costs. Microsoft warrants to update this software for at least five years.

Project

Project Professional in the 2019 version is a tool that covers the entire spectrum of project management: project managers use this software to manage resources such as staff, time and budget, and also keep track of many simultaneous projects. In addition, projects can be almost unlimited in size: from small tasks to concerns spanning several years and therefore of particular importance. Collaboration on projects of this nature is available locally over the network or through the cloud, saving small and large businesses time and money while still keeping them up-to-date on specific projects.

In order to keep track of even a large number of different projects, Microsoft Project Professional 2019 brings improved portfolio management tools. With this element of the program, decision makers immediately recognize which projects are currently going according to plan and where there is a need for rework. Schedules can be tracked and budget management grants overview of the monetary resources and human resources to manage, making work even easier. The prioritization option provides information on whether the key projects are progressing as planned or whether the project leader should intervene. First aid through analysis functions and corresponding instructions is also available in portfolio management.

Syncing with Project Online and Project Server is also possible to manage this type of functionality in larger organizations and the cloud. Team members can then immediately synchronize new entries in the project with other employees and are not required to be active manually. In addition, users of Microsoft Project Professional 2019 can integrate Skype for Business directly into the program. Text and video chats are possible, which also significantly simplifies the collaboration process on projects. Skype for Business is not included and must be purchased separately.

Finance departments in companies can calculate the payroll for team members on a task, both project-related and other expenses directly within the software. Employees can also issue legal invoices in Microsoft Project Professional 2019, and record work done in timetables provided by templates. Project Professional 2019 is not just a project management tool. The software also plays a role in the budgeting and financing of tasks of any kind, if desired. The integration of business intelligence software further facilitates this process.

However, users who have not previously come into contact with Microsoft Project Professional experience the full functionality of the program immediately - with templates that come with the software allowing users to build even the most complex projects in just a matter of minutes. These templates can be edited and saved for later use in other projects, making work a lot simpler. For example, in the preparation of annual reports there’s no need to start over, simply apply the changes that are necessary for that specific year to the template. The vast majority of functions from the previous version can also be found in the 2019 version, which makes it easier for experienced users to switch to the latest version.

Microsoft provides this edition of Project Professional only for Windows 10 users. Other operating systems are not supported. It is a full-fledged license without subscription costs; the use is also possible offline 365. Microsoft will be providing Project Professional 2019 with upcoming updates for at least five years.
