InfoPath /SQL Server SharePoint Online /Case Study>>

What are the key performance indicators (KPIs) associated with your business processes? With an integrated enterprise solution from In4Arch, you can stay on top of those KPIs. With an integrated view of your processes, and the strategic use of automation and workflow tools, you find new ways to increase efficiency, productivity, and, ultimately, profitability.

Using a combination of Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007, Microsoft SQL Server 2007, and Microsoft SharePoint Online, part of the Business Productivity Online Suite from Microsoft Online Services, In4Arch can create an integrated enterprise solution that streamlines your critical business processes. Not only does this approach ensure that your critical business processes can grow in sync with your organization, but it also ensures greater process accuracy, consistent process execution, optimized workflow, and easier information sharing—all of which can increase the productivity and effectiveness of your organization.

  • Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007 can eliminate your dependence on paper-based forms, reduce input errors, and improve information collection and update processes. In4Arch can quickly tailor rich, rule-based forms that use data validation and conditional formatting, complex formulas and real time calculations.

  • Microsoft SQL Server 2008 provides full relational database support, enabling you to consolidate, access, and report on information quickly and easily.

  • Microsoft SharePoint Online provides an online infrastructure for workflow support, information sharing, and collaboration—yet it is one that you do not have to build or support. Microsoft Online Services has already taken care of that for you.
    The ease of use benefits of InfoPath and the reliable industrial strength benefits of a centralized SQL Server database can be attained without SharePoint. However, the inclusion of SharePoint in the equation opens up a world of additional functionality, usefulness, and flexibility. Additionally, the InfoPath, SQL Server, SharePoint equation can be implemented with Windows SharePoint Server (WinSS) or with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS 2007). However, SharePoint Online (which is available on a subscription, pay as you go basis for as little as $7.50 per user per month) negates the necessity of the SharePoint capital investment and it significantly reduces SharePoint maintenance. Microsoft professionals perform the maintenance and updates at Microsoft data centers. In the past, it had been stated that IT spent 80% of their time on Maintenance and 20% on Innovation. The InfoPath / SQL Server / SharePoint Online equation provides enterprises with the capability to reverse the equation allowing for 80% of time concentrating on Innovation and 20% on Maintenance. In today’s world, this enhances the capability to concentrate on cost savings and productivity enhancement.

    In4Arch relies on a time-tested structured methodology that enables our information architects to work with you to convert your business processes into an integrated enterprise solution. By taking a service oriented architecture approach and building small, extensible modules that can be combined and recombined as your business needs evolve, you gain increased efficiency, consistency, responsiveness, and information accuracy. By relying on Microsoft Online Services for infrastructure support, you gain a cost-effective access to both high availability and peace of mind. Your critical data remains available and accessible even if there is a catastrophic event at your place of business.

    In4Arch would welcome the opportunity to assist you in developing an integrated enterprise solution that is tailored to your unique business needs.
