Got InfoPath? Then you have landed in the right spot. In this blog post, I will take you through the question every professional in your shoes is asking themselves now that Microsoft has sunset InfoPath: What’s next?
The short answer? PowerApps.
PowerApps is the new rapid application development platform from Microsoft that works perfectly as either a standalone platform or as an extensibility platform for virtually any other software or service. Killer side note: PowerApps works across platforms and form factors from a single code base. Yep, you heard that correctly.
One app built in PowerApps can run responsively across devices and operating systems: phone, tablet, computer and web. Mobile store approval nightmare? Hardly. When you make changes to an application and publish it, those changes are immediately available to all users – no app store approval wait time.
So what does this mean for your organization and all of your InfoPath forms? Don’t fret. Microsoft has laid out a clear roadmap for InfoPath replacement, and the partner ecosystem is reacting to that direction. We at Confluent are doubling down on PowerApps, and envision this platform being a major enabler for the digital transformation.
And that transformation for many organizations begins with a replacement of their InfoPath infrastructure. Luckily PowerApps low-code capabilities allow for rapid development, and when coupled with Microsoft Flow and the SharePoint connector, suddenly that transformation is not so daunting.
