What is InfoPath?
InfoPath was first launched within the Microsoft Office 2003 package. It's key features are form filling and distribution. Your organization may be using InfoPath and thinking of a solution to replace the functionality. FlowForma can help.
5 Common Challenges With Infopath forms
1. Infopath Support Will End In 2026
With support ending in 2026, customers won't have any technical support to help with troubleshooting. Support is a key component for every digital solution, this will be a key challenge for existing customers.
2. No New Features Added
As InfoPath is due to be phased out, there will be no more additional features added to the platform. This will impact customers as new functionality is essential for serving the requirements of growing organizations.
3. User Experience Design
Designing and personalizing forms in InfoPath can be intricate and time-intensive, which can delay projects due to a suboptimal user experience for customers.
4. Performance Issues
InfoPath can be slow to submit complex forms which can cause delays in submitting forms and even cause form errors. These performance issues can have an impact on productivity, as more time is spent on troubleshooting than should be needed.
5. Browser Challanges
Customers have highlighted issues with browser compatibility when using forms. This can issues in submitting forms for users when using mobile or tablet devices.
