The digital workplace is evolving at an unprecedented pace. Organizations are moving away from outdated, inefficient business processes and embracing modern, cloud-based solutions that enhance productivity, security, and user experience. However, many businesses still rely on legacy forms in formats like PDF, Word, and InfoPath, which hinder collaboration and automation.
Leveraging modern form-building tools like Power Apps, Lightning Forms, or Lightning Tools Forms Studio is critical for streamlining business processes. These platforms offer a dynamic, responsive, and intelligent way to collect, manage, and process data, ensuring a seamless experience across Microsoft 365. However, migrating from legacy forms to these modern solutions has traditionally been a complex and time-consuming challenge—until now.
The Challenge with Legacy Forms
For years, businesses have relied on forms created in PDFs, Word documents, and soon to be discontinued solutions like InfoPath to capture and manage data. While these formats served their purpose in the past, they pose several issues in the modern workplace:
- Lack of Integration – Legacy forms don’t natively connect with modern applications like Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, or Power Automate.
- Limited Accessibility – Forms stored as PDFs or Word documents can’t be accessed or completed easily on mobile devices.
- Security Risks – Static documents lack robust security features, increasing the risk of unauthorized access or data leaks.
- Inefficiency – Manual form completion and processing slow down workflows and create bottlenecks in business operations.
Why Modern Form Solutions Matter
Moving to a modern form experience with solutions like Lightning Forms, Lightning Tools Forms Studio, or Power Apps brings several advantages:
- Enhanced User Experience – Dynamic, interactive forms improve engagement and ease of use.
- Better Security & Compliance – Data is securely stored in Microsoft 365, with role-based access and permissions.
- Automation & Workflow Integration – Forms can trigger automated processes, reducing manual intervention.
- Cross-Platform Accessibility – Forms work seamlessly across web, and mobile devices.
