InfoPath alternative
Given the end of life of InfoPath, what is the recommended alternative going forward for new development? We are looking at using Nintex Forms.
- Jun 29, 2017Hi Talbot, The roadmap going forward is via PowerApps and Microsoft Flow. These products are not direct replacements for InfoPath offering a much wider canvas. It's likely, imho, that Microsoft will craft a forms product from the PowerApps and Flow platforms. I'm guessing more to be said at Ignite. Keep an eye on the Office 365 Roadmap too. Nintex is a strategic Microsoft partner is this area so may still be the right choice and InfoPath still has legacy support for some time but I agree not for new projects.
