As many know Business Intelligence is something that many Business users strive for. Now Microsoft has undergone many variations of their Business Intelligence offerings.
During the Tech-Ed Conference 2009 , I had the priviledge of taking part in the Tech-Ed Online. The discussion really focuses on SharePoint Search and FAST Search…..
Part 2 – The Conversion
In Part 1 of the series we really spoke about the process of wanting a simple way of implementing a Business Process such as the Leave process. In this part we’ll start by converting the already designed Leave form which is in word into an InfoPath form. We’ll also talk through the InfoPath environment and how from a Business User perspective, you can make a form fairly dynamic. We’ll also show some integration of InfoPath and SharePoint as a datasource. As per my Tech-Ed session, my main focus in this part is on the Business User, so I’ll do everything without coding. In a later part I’ll include items such as reading from Active Directory..etc.
Part 1 – The Introduction
Recently I did a session at Tech-Ed Africa around using InfoPath as a driver to automate Business Processes and doing this all without coding.
Amongst some of our consultants there has been some confusion around SharePoint Licensing, so I send this extract to all and thought I’d make it available online.
