InfoPath modernization

Move critical InfoPath processes into a supported Microsoft operating model

The difficult part is not selecting Power Apps. It is finding every form, understanding the process and dependencies behind it, choosing the right target pattern, and moving without breaking data capture, approvals, attachments, or reporting.

Modernization path

Treat the form estate as a portfolio, not a queue of one-off rebuilds

A repeatable program gives the team a consistent inventory, disposition model, target decision process, governance baseline, and migration sequence.
01

Discover

Find templates, fields, rules, data connections, code, views, attachments, owners, and dependent workflows.

02

Rationalize

Decide whether each form should be retired, replaced, rebuilt, redesigned, archived, or deferred.

03

Select the target

Route forms to Power Apps, SharePoint forms, Dataverse, Microsoft Forms, Power Pages, or a custom pattern.

04

Migrate and validate

Build priority replacements, test business outcomes, cut over in controlled waves, and retire legacy assets.

Before and after

Modernization should improve ownership and support, not only replace the interface

Before modernization

  • Forms are distributed across sites with unclear business and technical owners.
  • Submit rules, code, data connections, and workflow dependencies are difficult to inventory.
  • IT knows the platform is unsupported but lacks a complete disposition plan.

After modernization

  • Priority forms are mapped to supportable Microsoft target patterns.
  • Power Apps and Power Automate replacements have owners, testing, ALM, and governance.
  • Legacy forms are retired, archived, or remediated in controlled waves.

Migration software

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What changed for InfoPath in 2026?

Microsoft support milestones for InfoPath 2013 and InfoPath Forms Services passed in July 2026, increasing the operational, security, and support risk of leaving critical processes on legacy form patterns.

Does every InfoPath form need to become Power Apps?

No. Some forms should become Power Apps, some can become Microsoft Forms or SharePoint list forms, and others should be retired, archived, or redesigned.

Where does Form Migrator fit?

Form Migrator provides consistent form inventory, rationalization, and software-supported migration planning for larger or more complex form estates.

Can Horton Scientific help with the rebuild?

Yes. Horton Scientific can support assessment, target architecture, Power Apps and Power Automate delivery, governance, testing, and cutover.
