Why use InfoPath? InfoPath forms can be straightforward, simple forms that are used by several people in a small workgroup to collect information. For example, a 10-person sales team might use a form to fill out and share information about the sales calls they make. The data in those forms might then be merged into a single summary report that is sent to management each month. Alternatively, InfoPath forms can be more sophisticated forms that are connected to existing databases or integrated into existing business systems.
