    Hi Yashod,

    The one thing that you have to start considering is that you should start building your applications using Unified Interface.

    Microsoft is trying to reach "Parity", so that all the features that are currently available in the Classic interface are available also in the Unified Interface and Power Platform.

    There is no date or mention of deprecation yet, but we should consider that this is something that will eventually happen once all features are available in UCI.

    I would start creating Model-Driven Apps (UCI Apps) for your classic interfaces, so that when the time comes you are ready.

    I am pretty sure once Parity is achieved, and an announcement of deprecation of Classic Interface is made, you will have some time, but better start being prepared earlier.

    This is just my thought based on what we have seen in the last few years...

    Hope this helps.

    Hi

    Unified Client Interface is a brand new responsive UI with better HTML5 standard compliance and works on any device where as the classic web client is not very responsive and you cannot do customization once and access it from any device.  

    On top of the links suggested by others, you could also have a look at the  following links

    www.chorus.co/.../dynamics-365-an-overview-of-the-new-unified-interface

    I would suggest you spin up a trial instance and play with the UCI features, and you could even import your solutions and see how it looks on UCI.

    Hi Yashod,

    Microsoft is moving forward with the UCI and the classic web interface is/will become legacy.

    Look here for more info on the UCI and its current limitations.:
