NITRO Studio supports four deployment models: shared cloud (standard M365 environments), dedicated cloud within the customer's own Azure tenancy, on-premises SharePoint (SE, 2019, 2016), and air-gapped deployment for highest-security environments through NITRO Secure. Unlike Nintex, which retired on-premises support, NITRO Studio continues to invest in all deployment models.
Yes. NITRO Studio runs entirely within your Microsoft 365 tenancy. Your data never passes through an external Crow Canyon cloud or any third-party infrastructure. This makes NITRO Studio the preferred choice for regulated environments including US federal agencies, defense contractors (GCC High), healthcare organizations, and financial institutions with strict data residency requirements.
Yes. Crow Canyon Software provides migration services to help organizations move off Nintex SharePoint and rebuild workflows inside NITRO Studio. Crow Canyon's professional services team works directly with your IT team to map existing Nintex workflows and transition them to NITRO's drag-and-drop Visual Workflow Designer. A free migration assessment is available to scope the effort [...]
No. Nintex announced the end-of-life for its SharePoint on-premises product. Organizations running Nintex SharePoint on-premises need to migrate to a replacement platform before July 14, 2026, when SharePoint 2016 and 2019 retirement creates an additional forcing function. NITRO Studio fully supports SharePoint on-premises deployments including SharePoint SE, 2019, and 2016.
Yes, in most cases significantly so. Nintex charges per-workflow and per-form, meaning costs escalate as your automation use grows. NITRO Studio uses flat-rate, annual licensing — one price covers unlimited forms and unlimited workflows across your entire organization. Organizations switching from Nintex typically report substantial reductions in annual automation spend.
Your Microsoft 365 environment is certified in SOC 2, SOC 3, ISO 27001:2013, and FedRAMP. System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2 & 3 provides assurances that there are controls in place that protect your data. ISO 27001:2013 is a well-known set of international standards relating to the secure management of information, particularly in a [...]
SharePoint Online and SharePoint On-prem share the underlying goal of creating web pages for your employees to share documents, interact, submit requests, etc. From an end user perspective, the biggest difference is when updates are rolled out. SharePoint Online is constantly being tweaked and updated with new features and improved performance. There is no [...]
Microsoft does not have a direct replacement for InfoPath. The closest option available from Microsoft is PowerApps. PowerApps was borne out of the Azure-focused LogicApps world. As such, it is not as directly tied to SharePoint as InfoPath (or NITRO Studio, for that matter!).
Quick Answer: Microsoft InfoPath is a legacy Microsoft forms and workflow tool used with SharePoint that will retire on July 14, 2026. Organizations using InfoPath in Microsoft 365 need to plan migration to modern solutions to avoid workflow disruptions. Microsoft InfoPath is a form creation and data collection software application that was designed to [...]
Not any time soon. Microsoft may choose to not support it after 2026, but it will likely still work for legacy sites. It is not the preferred option when creating new sites in SharePoint Online in M365 as the modern interface is mobile-friendly and uses newer underlying technology. Ultimately, you can toggle between classic [...]
