Gerard Newman, CTO By Gerard Newman, CTO InfoPath Migration Tool, Process Automation 3 Min Read

With support for InfoPath ceasing in 2026, it's officially time to start planning your InfoPath migration. Here at FlowForma, we've made the migration a piece of cake, with our unique InfoPath Migration tool.

Our InfoPath migration tool empowers businesspeople to rapidly digitize a wide range of processes utilizing SharePoint and Office365 and, crucially, is a 100% no-code process automation solution.

One of the key aspects of FlowForma Process Automation is that its ability extends far beyond what InfoPath currently offers. FlowForma Process Automation maximizes the benefits of modern technology by supporting modern end-user access points, such as mobile devices and much more.

What is InfoPath? 

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.

Need for Migrating from InfoPath to FlowForma

Our InfoPath Migration tool has been built from the ground up to help process owners build processes without any coding or IT skills required. A single interface where forms, workflow and document generation are combined in one tool, it takes away the traditional reliance that businesses have on IT departments.

Why choose FlowForma over Power Apps for InfoPath Migration

Benefits of Flowforma over InfoPath

As a result, forms can be created up to 10x faster than with InfoPath, by the businesspeople and citizen developers who know the processes best, creating a better end-user experience all around.
