If your organization relies on Nintex for forms and workflows on SharePoint Server (SE), it’s time to start planning. Nintex has announced end of support for Nintex on-prem is December 2025. SharePoint 2013 Workflows end on April 2, 2026 – after this date, Nintex workflows will no longer function in SharePoint SE, SharePoint 2019, or earlier versions. This decision leaves many organizations looking for a reliable, future-proof alternative to Nintex automation on prem to keep mission-critical processes running without disruption.
What Does the Nintex Announcement Mean?
According to Nintex, April 2026 marks the end of life for all SharePoint Server editions—including SharePoint SE, 2019, and earlier versions. That means:
- Nintex workflows will stop working after April 2, 2026 for all on premises customers
- Customers on SharePoint SE, 2019, or earlier versions of SharePoint must migrate to another solution before April 2026
If you’re using Nintex for critical workflows—like HR onboarding, service requests, approvals, or incident reporting—you can’t afford to wait.
Why Act Now?
Waiting until the last minute to replace Nintex could lead to rushed migrations, loss of functionality, or broken workflows. Planning early gives you time to:
- Assess your current Nintex usage
- Choose the right replacement solution
- Rebuild or migrate workflows with minimal disruption
- Train your team and ensure smooth adoption
