Here's Your Path Forward.

Microsoft is retiring key SharePoint On-Premises features that many organizations relied on directly, and countless others via 3rd party add-ons.

With the latest deadline now weeks away, now is the time to find a solution. As always, AgilePoint has a solution.

Retirement Timeline

In just a few weeks’ time, Microsoft is removing key SharePoint and Business App functionality that will leave your organization exposed.   

As you’ll see in the table below, Microsoft is ending Extended Support for its two most popular on-premises collaboration solutions – SharePoint 2016 and 2019.   

Asif that wasn’t bad enough, you’ll also lose support for key tools to customize harePoint and create vital business applications like InfoPath forms, SharePoint2010-style workflows and SharePoint Designer.  

Importantly,these impacts both native SharePoint capabilities and countless 3rd party add-ons that rely upon these features. While these solutions will continue to run, they are unsupported.  In short, you’ll be on your own.

Platform / Feature Deadline Impact
SharePoint Server 2016 Extended Support July 14, 2026 No product support or security patches available.
SharePoint Server 2019 Extended Support July 14, 2026 No product support or security patches available.
SharePoint 2010 Workflow Engine July 14, 2026 2010-style workflows deprecated.
InfoPath Forms (Server & Microsoft 365) July 14, 2026 Forms layer removed entirely.
SharePoint Designer 2013 July 14, 2026 Workflow authoring tool retired.

What It Means

Your Automation Infrastructure Is Exposed Right Now.

We’ve already established the impact is substantial, and the clock is ticking.  However, there’s stillt ime for AgilePoint to save the day as the software you’ve relied upon foryears will continue to run after the deadline.

That said, you’ll want to consider the following risks.

  • Business Continuity: As mentioned, Extended Support is over.  That means there’s noway to get a fix in your moment of need. Can your team shoulder that burden when something goes wrong?
  • Vulnerabilities: With no fixes in the works, this software continues to silently accumulate vulnerabilities which puts SharePoint 2016 and 2019, along with your workflow data at significant risk.
  • Audit Risk for Regulated Industries: Ifdisaster does strike and your environment succumbs to a vulnerability, running business-critical automation and collaboration on unsupported infrastructure creates audit findings that compliance teams cannot dismiss. HIPAA, FedRAMP,CMMC, PCI-DSS and SOC2 all require vendor-supported software for regulated workloads.

Your Options

Two PathsvForward. Only One Built for Your Reality.

The July deadline is only the latest in a long line of feature deprecations and removals.  Only AgilePoint ensures your organization remains future-proofed against what comes next.

Option The Reality Best Fit For
Power Automate Cloud-only. Premium connectors and à la carte licensing scale costs fast. Not built for on-prem or air-gapped environments. Simple cloud-first workflows already in the Microsoft ecosystem.
SharePoint Add-On Not SharePoint-native. The next deadline will force yet another rebuild. No direct portability to Microsoft 365. Organizations seeking a temporary solution to build applications for SharePoint only.
AgilePoint ✦ On-prem, cloud, and hybrid solutions that are future-proofed for what comes next. Self-paced, GenAI-powered migration or turnkey Professional Services. Organizations needing on-prem control, instant portability to Microsoft 365 or any other system, and support for Citizen and Professional Developers.
