InfoPath 2016 is an information-gathering program that helps you create and deploy electronic forms to gather information efficiently and reliably. You can also use the InfoPath Forms Services capabilities in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2016 to extend your business processes beyond your corporate firewall, and deliver forms as Outlook e-mail messages, Web browser forms, or forms for mobile devices.
InfoPath 2016 is the right tool for encouraging and supporting improved collaboration and decision making throughout your organization. Use it to author and view XML documents with support for custom-defined XML schemas. Then use XML Web services to connect to external systems for effective sharing, reusing and repurposing of information. Publish forms to a shared network folder, a Web server, Windows SharePoint Services or as email attachments and enjoy automatic, silent update downloads.
InfoPath 2016 makes information gathering more efficient by delivering electronic forms that reach the necessary participants easily, reduce redundant data entry, and improve the quality of the data collected. You can simply reach more users by providing an easy form fill-in experience across Web browsers, e-mail messages, or mobile devices. In fact, InfoPath forms can be distributed as e-mail messages and many Web browsers for speed form fill-in, including Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape, Mozilla, Safari, and others. It also provides real-time validation, pre-populated fields, and connections to important sources of information. For added convenience, InfoPath 2016 solutions are fully integrated with the Microsoft Office system to deliver powerful electronic forms capabilities in a familiar package.
