InfoPath Retirement Timeline

The impetus to move off InfoPath is growing. Microsoft stopped development of InfoPath back in 2013 and ended mainstream support in July 2021. At many companies, the conversation has changed from asking “Should we move off InfoPath?” to “We need to move right away!”

About Our Replacement Manager

The InfoPath Replacement Manager helps organize and track InfoPath form conversions. Each form replacement becomes a project that is easily managed from the initial discovery phase through the form recreation process to the implementation of the new form. The Manager guides each step of the way, with sub-tasks, approvals, status checks, alerts and notifications, custom actions, and more, so that the team stays fully engaged and on track.

How the Conversion Works

Data about each form is entered into the InfoPath Replacement Manager either manually or by spreadsheet import. To build a spreadsheet, Crow Canyon provides PowerShell scripts that “read” InfoPath forms on the SharePoint server and then output that info to a CSV file, ready for importing.

Meta-data about each form can also be added. This includes usage data, what group or department uses the form, how critical the form is to the business, if any modifications should be made, etc. By gathering data and meta-data about each form in one place and then reviewing it, the team can decide how (or if) the form should be recreated in the new solution, whether it needs modifications, how much effort it will take to recreate it, and the timeline for doing that.

InfoPath Replacement + NITRO Studio

Our InfoPath Replacement Manager works in conjunction with NITRO Studio, our sophisticated forms and workflow creation platform for both SharePoint on-premises (2013, 2016, 2019, SE) and Microsoft Office 365. The Manager holds the information about each form – who is responsible, what is its purpose, updates on the progress of the conversion, when it needs to ready, etc. NITRO Studio is used to create the actual forms and workflows and to get the form implemented and in use.

Working together, these two tools – the InfoPath Replacement Manager and NITRO Studio – bring an easy and efficient way to make the move off InfoPath to modern, responsive, full-featured forms. The goal is to drive business process automation forward so that your organization can reap the benefits of all the capabilities of the cloud first, mobile friendly world that has left InfoPath in the dust.
