Lower operational risk
Identify hidden workflows that trigger approvals, notifications, data movement, compliance steps, or line-of-business updates before they break during migration.
Workflow modernization
Nintex to Power Automate Migration
Nintex workflows often encode years of operational knowledge. Horton Scientific discovers what is running, determines what should be retired or redesigned, and uses Flow Migrator to analyze supported patterns and organize migration into Power Automate with controls administrators can support.
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.
Modernize with intent
Rebuild the process for Power Automate instead of recreating brittle legacy logic action by action.
Software supported delivery
Use Flow Migrator for workflow analysis and supported conversion work, with consulting focused on design, governance, integrations, and exceptions.
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
- Nintex workflow estates with approvals, escalations, branches, service accounts, and hidden dependencies.
- SharePoint migrations where workflow logic must move with content, forms, and business validation.
- Organizations standardizing on Power Automate but needing governance before rebuild work starts.
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
- Workflows run critical processes but ownership, failure history, and dependency maps are incomplete.
- Legacy actions are recreated one by one without redesigning for Power Automate operations.
- Power Platform governance is addressed after workflows are already rebuilt.
What good looks like
- Workflows are classified as retire, rebuild, redesign, consolidate, defer, or Flow Migrator-assisted candidates.
- Power Automate replacements include owners, monitoring, DLP alignment, service account strategy, and runbooks.
- Cutover happens in waves with business validation and legacy workflow retirement controls.
Business case
Give leadership a decision-ready migration path
The technical plan should also support budget, procurement, operating continuity, and stakeholder communication.
- Reduce process interruption risk during workflow modernization.
- Preserve operational knowledge embedded in approvals and automations.
- Move toward Microsoft-native automation with clearer governance and support.
- Avoid rebuilding obsolete workflows that should be retired or consolidated.
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.
Inventory
Collect workflow definitions, owners, lists, libraries, triggers, actions, schedules, connectors, credentials, run history, and business validation owners.
Disposition
Categorize workflows as retire, rebuild, redesign, consolidate, defer, or Flow Migrator-assisted migration candidates.
Analyze with Flow Migrator
Use Flow Migrator to inventory actions, dependencies, compatibility, and conversion requirements across large Nintex estates.
Cut over
Rebuild flows, validate outcomes, document operations, monitor failures, and retire legacy workflow dependencies.
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 Nintex workflows be converted directly?
Some patterns translate cleanly, but many need redesign because triggers, connectors, permissions, state handling, and error handling differ. Flow Migrator helps organize the migration path instead of treating every workflow as a blank-page rebuild.
Where does Flow Migrator fit?
Flow Migrator is the recommended product path for organizations with a meaningful Nintex estate, unclear ownership, tight deadlines, or many workflows that need repeatable discovery and migration planning into Power Automate.
Do you support approvals and escalations?
Yes. We design approval flows, reminders, escalation paths, audit signals, monitoring, and error handling.
Can this run during a SharePoint migration?
Yes. Workflow modernization is often a core SharePoint Online migration workstream and should be sequenced early.
