Life After Nintex: How Organizations Are Planning Their Transition

Nintex for SharePoint customers are approaching a major turning point.

With the retirement of Nintex solutions tied to SharePoint environments, organizations must now decide how existing workflows, forms, and business processes will continue operating — without disruption, risk, or rushed migration decisions.

This live deep-dive session walks through what the retirement means in practical terms and how organizations are planning their next steps.

In this session, you’ll learn:

✔ What the Nintex for SharePoint retirement means for existing workflows and forms
✔ Key risks organizations face if transition planning starts too late
✔ The three paths organizations are taking after Nintex:

  • Moving to Nintex Cloud
  • Rebuilding with Power Platform
  • Transitioning to a Microsoft 365–native replacement

✔ A proven workflow transition strategy, including:

  • What can be migrated vs. rebuilt
  • How to audit existing workflows
  • Timeline planning and risk reduction best practices

Live demonstration included.

See a real employee onboarding workflow transitioned from Nintex to a Microsoft 365–native solution, along with real customer outcomes — including organizations moving hundreds of workflows in weeks.

What you’ll walk away with:

Key Sections

Why is Nintex for SharePoint Reaching End of Life?

There has been a massive shift in the workflow landscape, moving from on-premises SharePoint environments to a cloud-first reality. Because of this, Nintex for SharePoint is officially reaching end of life on June 14, 2026 (and for some versions, support already ended in April 2026). Staying on the current platform is no longer an option. Companies are now forced to reevaluate their workflow automation tools to address modernization initiatives, compliance expectations, and rising licensing costs.

The Three Transition Paths to Replace Nintex

Organizations essentially have three main pathways for replacing Nintex for SharePoint:
1. Move to Nintex Cloud or K2: While this is the native upsell, many organizations report seeing cost increases up to 10 times higher than their legacy on-premise solutions.
2. Migrate to Microsoft Power Platform: A viable Microsoft-native option, but licensing can quickly become complex, and scaling costs increase as you build more workflows.
3. Adopt a Purpose-Built SharePoint Solution (like NITRO Studio): A highly predictable, low-code alternative that aligns directly with the Microsoft 365 roadmap without hidden scaling fees.

Worried about unpredictable licensing costs? See how NITRO Studio handles this scenario with transparent pricing.

Overcoming Heavy Developer Dependency

One of the major modernization gaps left by legacy workflow systems is the heavy reliance on developers to maintain or build new processes. Modern organizations are shifting toward business-led, low-code automation. Solutions like NITRO Studio empower non-developers to build, manage, and scale workflows securely within their Office 365 or SharePoint tenant.

NITRO Studio Use Case: Form and Workflow Migration

A common question is whether there is a “magic button” to migrate Nintex forms and workflows directly to a new system. The reality is that migrations require a one-to-one recreation of forms and workflows. However, by using an agile project tracking approach, organizations can systematically transition these workflows into NITRO Studio. Crow Canyon offers dedicated services and training to help customers through this manual transition process—whether you operate in the Commercial Cloud, GCC, GCC High, or an on-premises air-gapped environment.

Introduction and the End of Life Deadline

Krista White (VP of Marketing): Let’s jump into it: Life after Nintex. Where do we go from here? I’m Krista White, VP of Marketing at Crow Canyon Software, and I’m joined by Ryan Stefani, our VP of Sales and Account Management. We are not affiliated with Nintex; we’ve just been helping folks automate workflows and forms for many years and want to share some insights to guide you through this transition.

Why now? If you’re here today, you’ve probably heard that Nintex for SharePoint is reaching end of life on June 14, 2026. For some versions of SharePoint, this actually already happened in April 2026. Staying where you are is not an option. It is time to take action.

What Changed in the Workflow Landscape?

Krista: There has been a big shift from on-premise SharePoint to a cloud-first reality. Alongside this, we’re seeing Microsoft 365 modernization initiatives, increased governance, and rising licensing costs—which is a big factor in today’s economy. There has also been a major shift toward low-code and business-led automation, where you aren’t entirely reliant on developers to build your workflows.

Nintex customers are planning transitions due to platform uncertainty, cost unpredictability, and a lack of alignment with the Microsoft 365 roadmap. If your users live in Microsoft 365 or SharePoint, it is critical to go with a solution that works natively within that environment.

Three Main Transition Paths

Krista: The question isn’t about if you’re going to move away from Nintex, but how. There are three main ways to replace it:
1. Move to Nintex Cloud or K2.
2. Move to the Microsoft Power Platform.
3. Adopt a purpose-built SharePoint solution like NITRO Studio.

How do you know which one is right for you? Cost predictability is a huge factor. We had someone recently who was looking at moving from Nintex on-prem to K2, and the cost was 10 times higher. With the Power Platform, we’re seeing scaling costs as you build more workflows. This makes it tricky to project costs as your organization grows.

Next Steps and Q&A

Krista: Let’s make sure everyone is clear on their next steps. If you’re contending with this migration, your next step is to book a free pre-Nintex replacement assessment with us. It includes a session with a workflow specialist, a migration estimate, and the cost of replacement.

We have a question from the audience: Can Nintex forms be migrated directly?

Ryan Stefani (VP of Sales): There is no magic button, unfortunately. Moving from Nintex, InfoPath, or the Power Platform over to NITRO Studio requires recreating the form and workflow inside the SharePoint space. It’s a manual effort, but we track and manage these projects utilizing our project tracking tools. We offer services to help our customers through it, often doing a hybrid approach where we share the workload.

Krista: Can you talk a little bit about the different environments that we support?

Ryan: We support pretty much all of them right now. Office 365 Commercial Cloud, the Government Cloud (GCC), and GCC High using different Azure endpoints. We also support NITRO Studio on-premise, including air-gapped and normal SharePoint subscription editions.

Krista: Is there training available for NITRO Studio?

Ryan: Yes, we have extensive documentation, training videos, instructor-led training, one-on-one calls, and even on-site training.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, in most cases significantly so. Nintex charges per-workflow and per-form, meaning costs escalate as your automation use grows. NITRO Studio uses flat-rate, annual licensing - one price covers unlimited forms and unlimited workflows across your entire organization. Organizations switching from Nintex typically report substantial reductions in annual automation spend.

No. Nintex announced the end-of-life for its SharePoint on-premises product. Organizations running Nintex SharePoint on-premises need to migrate to a replacement platform before July 14, 2026, when SharePoint 2016 and 2019 retirement creates an additional forcing function. NITRO Studio fully supports SharePoint on-premises deployments including SharePoint SE, 2019, and 2016.

Yes. Crow Canyon Software provides migration services to help organizations move off Nintex SharePoint and rebuild workflows inside NITRO Studio. Crow Canyon's professional services team works directly with your IT team to map existing Nintex workflows and transition them to NITRO's drag-and-drop Visual Workflow Designer. A free migration assessment is available to scope the effort before any commitment.

Yes. NITRO Studio runs entirely within your Microsoft 365 tenancy. Your data never passes through an external Crow Canyon cloud or any third-party infrastructure. This makes NITRO Studio the preferred choice for regulated environments including US federal agencies, defense contractors (GCC High), healthcare organizations, and financial institutions with strict data residency requirements.

NITRO Studio supports four deployment models: shared cloud (standard M365 environments), dedicated cloud within the customer's own Azure tenancy, on-premises SharePoint (SE, 2019, 2016), and air-gapped deployment for highest-security environments through NITRO Secure. Unlike Nintex, which retired on-premises support, NITRO Studio continues to invest in all deployment models.
