Workflow is the glue that binds information worker processes, users, and artifacts. Without workflow, information workers are just islands of data and potential. Workflow in the 2007 Microsoft Office System details how to implement workflow in SharePoint 2007 and the rest of the 2007 Office System to help information workers share data, enforce processes and business rules, and work more efficiently together or solo.
This book covers anything you’re likely going to need to know — from what workflow is all about, to creating new Activities; from InfoPath forms to ASP.Net forms; from the Rules Engine to the object model. There’s even a section on integrating Office 2003 clients with SharePoint 2007 workflows. You’ll come away from reading this book with solid knowledge of how to implement workflow in the new world of Office and SharePoint.
