Support end for InfoPath 2013: July 14 2026 (verify against Microsoft's lifecycle page before publishing).
A life-sciences company inventoried 410 InfoPath forms across 26 sites: 180 were variations of the same 12 requests, 95 were surveys and attestations, 60 were deviation reports. The 12 requests became 12 process apps with site as a scope; the surveys became one survey pattern on the workflow engine; the deviation reports became the nonconformance app, reading the batch and the inspection lot live from the ERP for the first time.
It becomes a registered function the app's actions call by name, with its inputs and outputs logged.
The process owner, with the configurator role; the application team keeps the gates and the write-back switches.
The inventory is fixed-scope; the first ten apps carry a fixed price written before the work; the platform is priced by capacity with apps included.
We list the applications, the forms and the workflows you run today, group them by the app type they become, and write a fixed price for the first ten before any work begins.
