InfoPath - End of life

Hi there,

With the upcoming release of Microsoft PowerApps you might have a new solution for a big part of your InfoPath forms. It allows you to build forms/apps cross operating system and it's very intuitive. Let me know if you need more information!

Kind regards,

Gert

Given Infopaths planned future might we expect to see a tool for migrating forms to the new platform? It seems when MS decide to kill a product we are the ones that have to invest vast amounts of time to rewrite everything in a platform with less functionality and a less friendly interface.

Losing Access from a lot of the Office products comes to mind. For that we don't even have a replacement product let alone an upgrade tool.

On March 27 2017, Microsoft terminated Access Services and Access Web App and seems to leave everybody with only two options :

(1) PowerApp & Flow

(2) SharePoint Custom Dev
