Cleaner user experiences
Create role-aware, mobile-friendly forms tied to the actual business process.
Forms modernization
Legacy Forms to Power Apps
Legacy forms often carry critical business process logic. We help replace paper, Excel, Access, InfoPath, PDF, and custom form patterns with Power Apps and Microsoft 365-native alternatives that are easier to govern and support. For larger form portfolios, Form Migrator provides consistent inventory, analysis, and migration planning.
Why this matters
Surface the risks before migration work begins
Migration risk often sits in ownership, permissions, identity, workflows, integrations, and business validation. We bring those issues into the plan before they become cutover problems.
Better data quality
Improve validation, required fields, lookup data, audit trails, and reporting inputs.
Supportable apps
Use environments, solutions, DLP, naming conventions, and ownership so apps do not become a new legacy problem.
Product-backed migration
Use Form Migrator when the form estate is too large or inconsistent for one-off rebuilds.
Representative situations
A fit for environments with real dependencies
The work is most valuable when the move includes technical complexity, business-critical processes, or governance decisions that cannot be left until the end.
Where we are typically brought in
Complexity that requires senior migration judgment
- Form portfolios that include InfoPath, Excel, Access, PDF, paper, custom forms, and SharePoint list forms.
- Processes where forms are tied to approvals, reporting, attachments, and data quality requirements.
- Teams that need a repeatable path for multiple forms instead of one-off app builds.
Before and after
Move from uncertain scope to a controlled plan
The goal is not simply to move data. It is to create a target state, sequence the work, and leave the environment easier to operate.
What creates drag
- Forms are scattered across departments with inconsistent UX, validation, and support ownership.
- Data quality and reporting suffer because intake processes are not standardized.
- Teams rebuild forms without considering governance, ALM, licensing, or long-term support.
What good looks like
- Forms are routed to the right Microsoft-native target pattern.
- Power Apps and Power Automate solutions are built with governance and supportability in mind.
- Form Migrator supports consistent inventory and migration planning where appropriate.
Business case
Give leadership a decision-ready migration path
The technical plan should also support budget, procurement, operating continuity, and stakeholder communication.
- Improve data quality and user experience.
- Reduce manual intake and shadow process risk.
- Create a maintainable Power Platform foundation.
- Prioritize forms that produce measurable operational value.
Delivery approach
A practical path from discovery through handoff
Each engagement is adapted to the source systems, target environment, timeline, risk tolerance, and capacity of the internal team.
Assess
Review the current form, data model, workflow, users, permissions, reporting, and business rules.
Design
Define the Power Platform architecture, app screens, data sources, approvals, and support model.
Build
Develop apps and flows with testable logic, error handling, and deployment structure.
Transition
Pilot with users, migrate necessary data, retire the old form, and document operations.
Purpose-built products
Use product accelerators where the work is repeatable
Consulting covers architecture, sequencing, governance, exceptions, and validation. Horton Scientific products support repeatable form and workflow migration tasks.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Can you replace Access or Excel forms?
Yes. We assess data structure and usage, then recommend Power Apps, Dataverse, SharePoint, or another Microsoft-native approach.
Do you handle approvals?
Yes. Approvals can be implemented with Power Automate, Teams, Outlook, SharePoint, Dataverse, or custom patterns.
Can we start with one pilot?
Yes. A single high-value form is often the fastest way to establish the pattern.
