Nintex End of Life Checklist: 10 Steps to Migrate to NITRO Studio Before July 14, 2026

  Nintex is already gone. Your forms and workflows just don’t know it yet. Nintex on-premises hit end of life in December 2025. SharePoint 2013 retired on April 2, 2026 . The next domino, and the one that finally breaks things for most Nintex SharePoint customers, falls on July 14, 2026 , when Microsoft ends support for SharePoint 2016 and 2019, along with InfoPath . If your forms and workflows are still running on Nintex SharePoint, you’re now operating on borrowed time. No security patches. No vendor fixes. No Microsoft support after July 14. And every workflow that touches HR, finance, IT requests, or compliance is sitting on a platform nobody is responsible for anymore. We’re Crow Canyon Software. We’ve been a Microsoft Solutions Partner for over 27 years, and we built NITRO Studio , a complete no-code/low-code forms and workflow automation platform for Microsoft 365 and SharePoint. Teams use NITRO Studio to run IT help desks, purchase requests, employee onboarding, performa...

SharePoint Workflow Automation Without Nintex: A Practical Guide

Image
  If your business runs on SharePoint and Nintex, the pressure is on. Microsoft retired the SharePoint 2013 workflow engine in Microsoft 365 on April 2, 2026, along with the SharePoint Add-In model. Nintex Workflow for Office 365 lost mainstream support back in December 2025. The next big date is July 14, 2026, when SharePoint Server 2016 and 2019 reach the end of support , roughly eleven weeks from now. Read that timeline again. Some Nintex workflows have already stopped working as tenants are switched over. Others are running on a clock. Not “deprecated.” Not “limited support.” Stopped, or stopping soon. If you have been searching for ways to handle SharePoint workflow automation without Nintex, or for a SharePoint workflow tool that holds up in 2026, this guide is meant to help you make a decision that works after the deadlines, not just before them. Why teams are moving off Nintex right now Three things are pushing IT and operations leaders to look beyond Nintex. The deadlines...

Why Nintex Cloud Isn’t the Default Migration Path for On-Premise Companies

Image
 The Nintex end-of-support deadline shouldn't force organizations into a single migration path. Because there is no true lift-and-shift migration, every workflow requires redevelopment. That reality creates a rare opportunity to reassess automation strategy from the ground up. Questions worth asking: • Does cloud licensing fit our budget model? • Do we require full control over workflow data? • Will we need hybrid or on-premise connectivity? • Are there alternative workflow platforms that support both cloud and on-premise environments? The effort involved in migration is largely the same. The platform decision deserves deeper analysis. READ MORE

How to Migrate from Nintex to NITRO Studio: A Step-by-Step Guide

Image
  If your team still runs Nintex on SharePoint, the migration question is no longer if . It is how , and how fast. Nintex Workflow for Office 365 lost vendor support on December 31, 2025 . The SharePoint Add-In model and the SharePoint 2013 workflow engine retired on April 2, 2026, and Nintex has stated plainly that affected workflows stopped running with no recourse or workaround. SharePoint Server 2010-based workflows on Subscription Edition will end on July 14, 2026. There is no automated lift-and-shift from Nintex to any other platform, including Nintex Automation Cloud. Every migration involves rebuilding workflows and forms on a new engine. The good news is that the rebuild itself is the easier part. The hard part is the planning. This guide gives you the full playbook for a Nintex migration to NITRO Studio : how to inventory what you have, how to prioritize, how to choose the right deployment environment, and how to cut over without breaking the business.

  Your Nintex renewal is on the calendar. The roadmap has moved, the workflows haven’t, and someone in the room has already typed “Nintex alternative” into Google. Two names keep coming back. Power Automate is the workflow automation product inside your Microsoft 365 tenant. And NITRO Studio, a no-code application builder platform on Microsoft 365 and SharePoint that covers Nintex-style forms and workflows alongside a wider set of business applications. Both can replace what you have. But they are not quite the same kind of product. The gap between them in terms of scope, cost, deployment, and who actually builds the workflows is much wider than most comparison pages suggest. This article breaks down where each platform fits, where each one breaks, and how to make the call without rebuilding the wrong thing twice. The real decision frame A lot of “Nintex alternative” content treats this as a feature checklist. It isn’t. By the time a buyer is choosing a replacement, the basics are ...
