Many organizations know that InfoPath is deprecated, but they still haven’t started planning for its replacement. Microsoft released the first version of InfoPath in 2003 and the most recent in 2013. That makes it nearly 20 years old—clearly obsolete in “tech years.” Yet many businesses continue to rely on it, sometimes using dozens or even hundreds of InfoPath-based forms.
Why does it persist? InfoPath earned widespread adoption because it was powerful, easy to use, and required little coding. It got the job done—until now. But like any outdated technology, InfoPath reached the point where it became difficult to support, enhance, or scale. Modern businesses need more.
That’s why organizations are turning to NITRO Studio—a powerful, flexible, and cost-effective solution that replaces InfoPath with ease. There’s no need to wait any longer. Here are three key reasons to start your InfoPath-to-modernization journey today.
Reason #1 to Replace InfoPath Now: Outdated Technology Creates Limitations
InfoPath no longer supports the needs of a modern workforce:
-
It delivers an outdated look and feel, with low usability.
-
It costs more to maintain, especially as fewer professionals choose to work on legacy solutions.
-
It lacks full support for cloud environments and mobile devices.
-
It creates risk of losing time and resources by investing in a dying platform.
-
It doesn’t allow you to migrate managed solutions to SharePoint Online.
These issues make it clear: InfoPath can no longer meet the expectations of today’s users—or tomorrow’s business goals.
Reason #2: Modern Tools Deliver More Value
NITRO Studio brings the modernization your organization needs:
-
It runs in Microsoft 365, Teams, and SharePoint on-premises and online, making it ideal for hybrid and remote teams.
-
It offers a clean, modern user experience your employees and partners will appreciate.
-
It connects easily to core business systems like CRM and ERP.
-
It gives you the chance to redesign outdated processes to fit how your business actually works now.
-
It evolves with your organization. You’ll never need to rebuild from scratch, because NITRO Studio continuously delivers new features and enhancements.
By modernizing now, you don’t just replace InfoPath—you improve your operations and set the stage for future growth.
Reason #3: Delaying Brings Serious Risk
Waiting to act could put your organization at a disadvantage:
-
Microsoft will support InfoPath on-premises only through 2026, and cloud support remains uncertain.
-
You may run out of time if Microsoft ends support with short notice.
-
Critical processes could break when InfoPath solutions fail or become incompatible.
-
You lose the opportunity to improve efficiency, meet user needs, and modernize now.
Organizations that delay risk falling behind. Acting now gives you control over the transition—and the ability to improve processes along the way.
Conclusion
Replacing InfoPath with NITRO Studio isn’t just a technical upgrade—it’s a strategic decision. It helps your organization eliminate technical debt, improve usability, and future-proof business processes. Don’t wait for InfoPath to break or disappear. Replace it with a modern solution designed with InfoPath users in mind that grows with you.
So, what’s stopping your organization from making the switch today?
