Microsoft shows total ignorance for their customers and for developer society that build solutions around Microsoft 365.
Lesson learned from this case:
- vendor lock-in is always a huge risk
- as a developer, stay away from building solutions for Microsoft solutions, you cannot build serious business on Microsoft products because sooner or later this product will be retired
I'm also shocked by two facts:
- Microsoft gives only a few months to migrate very complex solutions based on SharePoint 2010 workflows that were built during many years
- SharePoint workflows, core SharePoint technology will be totally retired. There are thousands of SharePoint add-in in the Office Store that use SharePoint workflows and now what? Microsoft will display "This app is not supported on your server" for 70-80% of SharePoint add-ins in the Store?
Now Microsoft makes many enhancements into MS Teams, I'm almost sure that SharePoint will be replaced by MS Teams and Power Automate sooner or later. Then Microsoft will give us a few months to migrate to Teams...
To summary: stay away from Microsoft 365 and find a serious partner, probably Google with they cloud solutions will be better.
