No, you should be fine.

365 is highly likeable by admins because it runs light on their servers. There might be some areas of Office that might not be accessible, but for the most part, your IT department should be good to go.

I just gave the green light to our IT department to upgrade the campus and all 1600 stores with 2016 365. It will be present on our OU and we have set up a specific GPO to ensure it sets Office up with the best user experience for JAWS and NVDA 2016.2.1.

Freedom Scientific recommended upgrading to it as Microsoft has improved the "Schedule Assistant". In a large corporation like mine, we are setting up meetings in different buildings and rooms constantly. Currently with 2013, I found a way around it, but definitely looking forward to see if Microsoft improved the add-on accessibility to be able to select a room and see its availability before I start adding people to attend the meeting.
