Microsoft InfoPath has been discontinued and support will cease in 2026. With many companies heavily invested in InfoPath and looking for an alternative solution for electronic forms, it’s time to move to new technology designed for the remote workforce.
With Microsoft InfoPath discontinued, the company will cease support for it in 2026, but a greater concern may be that InfoPath does not support modern end-user access points, like mobile devices, and does not offer features that maximize the benefits of modern technology. Therefore, technical solutions built on InfoPath are inferior to those built on modern platforms and InfoPath alternatives, like FlowForma, can offer more sustainable solutions.
Dedicated to making the complex simple, FlowForma Process Automation recommends using our no-code designer, which allows you to build replacement forms in a fraction of the original time. It requires no IT resources and has built-in form features that produce a better end-user experience.
For large-scale replacements involving many InfoPath forms, FlowForma Process Automation offers a tool that can accelerate InfoPath form replacement.
The tool accepts an InfoPath form template as input, interprets the template and automatically maps sections and fields onto steps and questions. Users can adjust the mapping to accurately replicate the form function.
The tool generates a FlowForma template for import into any FlowForma environment.
Finishing touches to the converted form can be applied in FlowForma using our no-code designer.

Video: Migrating from InfoPath to FlowForma is a Piece of Cake!
Eurofound is an EU agency which focuses on managing research, gathering information, and communicating its findings. In addition to the need to comply with new regulatory requirements, Eurofound faced problems with its electronic forms application. The Microsoft InfoPath® software they used was not only being discontinued, but its limited features also failed to deliver the desired workflow functionality for the agency.
Eurofound used the FlowForma InfoPath migration tool and completely replaced its electronic forms with FlowForma Process Automation. The results were immediate and greater than Eurofound ever imagined.
David Prithard, Systems Analyst at Eurofound commented: "We rebuilt a process in around a week, as opposed to the month we would have needed with the old application – that’s a 75% efficiency improvement – and we’ve ended up with something much better than what we had before."

''Anyone who ever spent any time struggling against some of the brick walls which InfoPath throws up will love FlowForma Process Automation.
It solves most of the problems and adds so much more. We're using it in an increasing number of areas across our organization where customer development either cannot be justified or is simply less expedient.''
