Turn “End of support” into “Start your advantages”

Your upgrade from Nintex Workflow for SharePoint to Nintex Automation K2

Choose your best migration path

Congratulations! By using Nintex Workflow for SharePoint, you’ve been working with the most popular SharePoint workflow tool available. So, naturally, with Microsoft ending support for its Office 365 SharePoint Workflow Engine starting April 2, 2026, you’ll need options to move forward with Nintex. Here’s a quick guide to what’s happening now and easy options for what’s next.

Your easiest transition that picks up where Workflow for SharePoint left off is Nintex Automation K2. Well before SharePoint announced it was ending its support, Nintex has been ramping up the capabilities of Automation K2 to give you more on-premises freedom, flexibility, and control.

Answers to end-of-support questions 

WHY MIGRATE

Why should I migrate to Nintex Automation K2? 

In addition to powerful on-prem automation with full control and data sovereignty, K2 gives you more options for migration. You can run both old and new platforms in parallel, creating new workflows on K2 using fast AI-powered tools and move over piece by piece. Or you can wait and migrate your whole workflow landscape at once on a shorter timeframe. Either way, you’ll find Know-Your-Workflow tools and resources to help you asses your current landscape and decide how best to proceed.

About end-of-support

Will Nintex for SharePoint still work? 

Yes! Your existing workflows will continue to run, and you can continue to build new workflows with Nintex Workflow for SharePoint. But without Microsoft-provided support, patches, fixes, or updates, the risk will fall on you. K2 is an AI-powered low-code platform that lowers your total cost of ownership while expanding capabilities with the integrated Nintex toolset including Process Manager, Process Discovery, RPA, eSign, and Document Generation.

The Automation K2 story

Remember when Microsoft .NET was new? That’s when Automation K2 .NET first came out with deep SharePoint integrations and a powerful native engine. Nintex acquired K2 .NET technology shortly after that and nurtured it into the market-dominating tool for SharePoint it is today. Now with the development of Automation K2, Nintex has created a stand-alone powerhouse with more flexibility and AI-powered speed. It’s definitely the right time to migrate.

Automation K2 migration—a great step for you

A better user workflow experience 

Automation K2 uses its own workflow engine, something SharePoint Workflow Engine doesn’t have. This provides a better developer and end-user experience 

No more data limitations

Because K2 uses its own database, you lose the limitations that SharePoint imposed on lists for data storage. Remember, SharePoint isn’t, and never was a database; now those limits are gone for tasks and Workflow history. 

More integration with more models

K2 SmartObects allow both Workflow and Forms to read, write and list data from integrated systems. So the UI connects and works with more complex data models and a wider range of systems. 

 Fails become progress, not pain

The K2 engine repairs and resumes workflows from the point at which they failed—no more restarting workflows from the beginning. Even while upgrading a running workflow definition to a new version in-flight. 

Unleash flexible forms

K2 SmartForms allow JavaScript. So there’s no more choosing between Classic or Responsive forms. And JavaScript opens up infinite possibilities for entire user interfaces—not just forms.  

A relational table model

No more storing repeating data in a clumsy XML string in a List column. With K2 it’s stored in a relational table model. 

No more SharePoint shackles

As a standalone, K2 isn’t limited to SharePoint. It’s now far easier to build solutions that are entirely separate from SharePoint.

Coding is a thing of the past

With K2 you can build more advanced processes and low-code apps that free you from legacy business process management systems and save on developer resources.
