SharePoint Server 2016 and 2019 are out of support – time for the cloud?

If you still run SharePoint on your own servers, they no longer receive security updates.

What happened?

SharePoint Server 2016 and 2019 reached end of support on July 14, 2026. Support for InfoPath Forms Services on these versions ended at the same time. The servers won't stop working, but Microsoft no longer releases security updates or bug fixes.

Your options

Most businesses have three options: move the content to SharePoint Online in Microsoft 365, upgrade to SharePoint Server Subscription Edition, or retire the solution. For small and midsize businesses, SharePoint Online is usually the simplest and safest choice – with security, updates, and Copilot included.

More than a technical move

A migration is a good opportunity to clean house: delete outdated content, clean up permissions, and build a structure that works – before AI tools start searching through it.

What we recommend

  • Inventory content, customizations, and workflows
  • Clean up before you move, not after
  • Plan permissions and structure in SharePoint Online
