Overview

ClaySys AppForms is an add-on to Microsoft SharePoint that enables you to build business forms and extend them to include complex business logic, working with data from SharePoint lists and libraries, SQL Server databases, Web Services, and WCF services. The key difference between AppForms and other products for building forms in SharePoint is that AppForms can evolve into complex business applications, including workflows. ClaySys AppForms for SharePoint is supported for Enterprise Edition, SharePoint 2013 Foundation, Standard and Enterprise Edition, SharePoint Online in Office365 through installing the ClaySys AppForms App from the Office365 AppStore. We are on track to Support SharePoint 2016 once the RTM version is available.

Microsoft deprecating Infopath has created a significant demand for addressing the gap in SharePoint that Infopath used to address. ClaySys AppForms for SharePoint is an Enterprise Scale product that fills in the gap left by Infopath, and extends the capabilities beyond what was possible with Infopath, by enabling the creation of not just Forms but the complex line of business applications through the configuration no-code paradigm.

Why choose ClaySys AppForms for SharePoint

SharePoint is an excellent and proven platform for deploying Intranet collaborative websites and portals, and for creating team spaces for collaborating on tasks and projects by creating specific SharePoint sites. The gap in SharePoint is the ability to extend SharePoint for the purpose of creating Forms and configuring workflows for process automation requirements. Infopath within SharePoint used to address some of these requirements through its Forms capabilities, but with Microsoft having deprecated Infopath, there is a significant gap in meeting customer needs within SharePoint, to continue to extend SharePoint for Forms and Business Applications, which is the key pain point that ClaySys AppForms for SharePoint addresses. ClaySys AppForms for SharePoint allows you to create futureproof Forms and Application functionality that will continue to work in future versions of SharePoint. ClaySys AppForms for SharePoint also supports SharePoint in Office365, where functionality created for SharePoint on premise in ClaySys AppForms, can be migrated to SharePoint in Office365, as long as the same site structure is maintained online.
