“InfoPath is dead”
Ok we all kind of guessed this was coming, but Microsoft officially announced today that InfoPath is one dead puppy. In their words “This means that InfoPath 2013 is the last release of the desktop client, and InfoPath Forms Services in SharePoint Server 2013 is the last release of InfoPath Forms Services“.
So, what are you plans now ? If you are looking for a new forms solution, will you go InfoPath 2013, wait for the next “Forms Solution” from MS, or go with something else?
Anyway, here’s their full article : http://blogs.office.com/2014/01/31/update-on-infopath-and-sharepoint-forms/
TIP: Find your next Infopath Forms Replacement over in our Collab365.Directory.
I would like to suggest our SharePoint Forms Designer as a great InfoPath alternative. This tool allows to design rich SharePoint forms directly in the browser and supports any fields including Management Metadata and even 3rd party columns. It works with all SharePoint 2010/2013 editions including SharePoint Online in Office 365. Our customers find Forms Designer rich, well integrated and easy-to-use: http://www.linkedin.com/company/plumsail/sharepoint-forms-designer-21574101/product?trk=biz_product_logo
