Boosting Cross-Department Collaboration with Microsoft 365 Forms + Workflow Automation

Cross-department collaboration is increasingly difficult in enterprises where silos, unclear ownership, and fragmented processes slow down decision-making. Microsoft research—including insights from the Work Trend Index—shows that organizations need digital systems that simplify coordination and create visibility across teams. This blog examines how combining Microsoft 365-connected forms with automated workflows transforms collaboration by standardizing processes, reducing friction, and aligning stakeholders. SnapOn Software’s Forms and Workflow Designer exemplifies this shift by offering dynamic, role-based forms that adapt to stages, responsibilities, and departmental contexts. When paired with workflow automation, organizations gain predictable approval cycles, transparent status tracking, and shared accountability. The result is an enterprise environment where Marketing, HR, Finance, IT, Legal, and Operations can collaborate fluidly without losing oversight or control. As complexity grows, automated processes become a strategic foundation for scalable teamwork—aligning directly with Microsoft’s vision for connected, data-driven collaboration in Microsoft 365.

How to Replace Legacy InfoPath with Forms 

Organizations still running SharePoint Server 2016/2019 face a major challenge: InfoPath is discontinued, risky to maintain, and difficult to replace without major rewrites. While many migration paths push teams toward cloud tools like Power Apps, not every organization is ready—or able—to move off-premises. This blog outlines why InfoPath now represents a compliance and operational liability, and provides a practical roadmap for replacing it with a modern, low-code, on-premises-friendly solution. Forms from SOS is introduced as a purpose-built InfoPath replacement for SharePoint SE and other on-prem environments, offering familiar controls (repeating tables, cascading lookups), tabbed layouts, permissions, and extensibility without requiring full developer intervention. A gradual migration approach—inventorying forms, prioritizing batches, prototyping, refining, and rolling out in waves—helps teams reduce disruption while modernizing their workflow foundation. By adopting a tailored on-prem solution, organizations maintain control, reduce risk, and future-proof their forms layer without committing to an immediate cloud transition.

Why Data Residency Matters: The Hidden Risk of U.S. Storage in Microsoft Forms

Microsoft Forms stores Canadian submissions on U.S. servers, creating privacy, compliance, and cross-border data-sovereignty risks for public-sector institutions. SOS Intake keeps all form data inside your Microsoft 365 tenant—stored locally in Canada, fully governed by your retention, security, and compliance policies. No U.S. hosting, no cross-border transfer, and no exposure to the PATRIOT Act. A secure, Canadian-compliant alternative for student records, HR intake, municipal services, and sensitive workflows.
