Published
For many organizations, InfoPath and older versions of SharePoint have been the backbone of intranets, workflows, and forms. They served well for years, but the reality has changed. Microsoft has officially announced end-of-life timelines, and support for these platforms is winding down.
That creates a serious risk. Support for InfoPath and SharePoint 2016 ends July 14, 2026. SharePoint 2013 has already reached end-of-life. Every day you continue to rely on these legacy systems, you increase exposure to security vulnerabilities, integration challenges, and mounting technical debt. The clock is ticking.
From migration to modernization
If you’re in this position, it’s tempting to see migration as a simple “lift-and-shift.” Move the content, keep things running, and minimize disruption. But this moment is far bigger than that. Migration is your chance to modernize and reimagine how your digital workplace functions.
Instead of replicating outdated experiences, you can redesign your intranet around how employees actually work today. You can replace InfoPath forms with Power Platform solutions that are mobile-ready, automated, and secure. And you can take the time to clean up content, establish governance, and simplify navigation so employees find what they need quickly and confidently through navigation, search or even AI.
Modernization opportunities include:
- Replacing InfoPath forms with Power Apps and Power Automate workflows
- Redesigning intranets to be mobile-first and intuitive
- Cleaning up content and establishing governance
- Enabling seamless integration with Teams and Viva
- Preparing content for Copilot and Copilot Agents
- Modernization isn’t about technology for its own sake. It’s about creating an employee experience that feels current, purposeful, and intuitive

Setting the stage for Copilot
AI is reshaping work, and Microsoft Copilot is moving faster than any product Microsoft has ever launched.
Migrating now means you can build a structured, secure, and findable environment that allows Copilot to thrive. Organized content libraries, consistent metadata, and modern workflows don’t just make today’s experience better—they unlock tomorrow’s AI-powered productivity.
How we can help
We view migration as both a technical challenge and an opportunity to transform the employee experience. We start by understanding your current landscape, identifying risks and opportunities, and developing a plan that balances speed with long-term value.
Our Spark Workspace accelerator is designed to de-risk and speed up migration by rapidly establishing the modern SharePoint foundation. From there, we help organizations rebuild InfoPath forms in Power Apps, integrate with Teams and Viva, and design governance frameworks that keep environments clean well after launch. And just as importantly, we focus on adoption—ensuring employees don’t just get a new system, but a better way to work.
We’ve guided healthcare systems, manufacturers, and global enterprises through this journey. In every case, the goal has been the same: don’t just migrate. Modernize.

If you wait until July 2026, you’ll be rushing to catch up. Starting now means you can control the pace, reduce disruption, and deliver real improvements while preparing your organization for the AI-driven future.
Your migration can be more than a compliance project. It can be the start of a revamped employee experience and a foundation for Copilot.
Let’s make that transformation happen together.
