Office Forms Server 2007 is a new server offering in the Microsoft Office system. It is a standalone server that delivers new Microsoft Office InfoPath Forms Services, which is also available in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. This new technology uses server-based electronic forms to streamline business processes and make data collection, distribution, and integration more cost-effective than with paper-based forms.

- Put Office InfoPath 2007 forms to work in customer-facing, Internet Web site, or business process workflow applications.
- Deliver forms with a consistent user experience. Office InfoPath 2007 forms use built-in controls to deliver easy-to-use forms with predictable behavior, mouse-over tips, and built-in data validation. Office InfoPath Forms Services–based forms are network-friendly and minimize the time-consuming roundtrips usually necessary for data validation and calculations.

Accelerate forms-driven business processes

Office InfoPath Forms Services connects forms data with back-end systems using Web services to streamline your forms-based business processes.

- Integrate your data with existing back-end systems. Office InfoPath Forms Services supports Web services standards for receiving data from and submitting data to multiple back-end systems.
- Avoid errors and repetitive work caused by inconsistent data. Connect Office InfoPath 2007 forms data with back-end systems to provide business users with access to all related data. Smart forms can be prepopulated with data, which eliminates tedious data entry tasks and avoids data entry errors. Data validation rules built into Office InfoPath 2007 forms check for errors during data entry and prevent repetitive work later.
- Connect forms to workflow. Design Office InfoPath 2007 forms to submit data automatically to a Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services library or to a Web service. Then, you can connect your business forms with Windows SharePoint Services or Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006 workflow processes, providing a consistent user interface for structured business processes.

Business users can design and deploy forms, but administrators retain control over who is permitted to publish forms to the server.
- Easily upgrade solutions that are already in place. With side-by-side form upgrades, administrators can deploy new versions of forms with no downtime.
- Create advanced forms solutions. Office InfoPath Forms Services supports managed code execution on the server, which provides headroom for software developers to add advanced business logic and specialized functionality to Office InfoPath 2007 form templates. Shared data connections simplify forms solutions development and deployment.
