Just started a new IT manager, that was not very impressed that opening office applications after install, requires all kind of user interaction.

So wondering, is there any way to skip steps like Activation that where user must sign in first time opening - and also user has afterwards to manual add outlook account. My hope was that when opening outlook it would just right away open outlook with the user mailbox added

You can always use a configuration profile to customize the "first open" experience of Microsoft Office apps. Check macadmins.software and the com.microsoft.office domain keys.
