Along with XML, InfoPath is, in
our estimation, the best new
feature to hit Office since
real-time spell-checking.
InfoPath is an XML editor with a
twist: The user never sees the
XML or the XML Schema that
structures and validates it
... InfoPath lives up to its
billing both in ease of use and
the quality of its output." -

InfoPath
is a technology that enables the
creation of rich, dynamic forms that teams
and organizations can use to gather, share,
reuse, and manage information. This tool,
built into Microsoft Office uses forms automation
to improve collaboration and decision-making
throughout your organization.
Forms
drive most business processes because they
eliminate or hide the complexities of
processes. And let's face it; forms
are involved in every aspect of most
organizations. How effective you are
at managing forms will demonstrate a strong
correlation to how well you can effectively
connect people,
information, and processes.
What does InfoPath
do?
InfoPath provides richer page layout
controls for working with printed forms.
InfoPath
uses a "what you see is what you get"
(WYSIWYG) design environment, which includes
layout control features that enable
designers to create forms quickly and
easily. When designing a form that
will be printed, for example, form designers
will be able to insert page breaks for print
versions of forms without affecting the
layout for users filling out the InfoPath
form online.
Easier
integration into existing business process
and workflows.
With enhancements to InfoPath's condition
builder feature and built-in support for the
human workflow service (HWS) in Microsoft
BizTalk® Server, form designers can now
change the options available to the user
based on the user's role, making it even
easier to integrate InfoPath forms into
existing business processes and workflows.
Increased
support for digital signatures.
The preview gives form designers the ability
to provide verifiable, non-reputable
signing, partial signing, cosigning and
countersigning through enhanced digital
signature support. Thus, InfoPath users can
not only sign different portions of a form
and see a view of the form as it existed
when a user digitally signed it, but they
also can store additional information when a
form is digitally signed to verify the
intention of the signer and to provide
additional information about the form.
