why we use infopath in sharepoint

Can anyone explain why we use 开发者_Go百科infopath in sharepoint?

Infopath is mainly used as a "code free" approach to creating a form for collecting user data.

One of the main benefits when integrated with SharePoint is the ability to use the InfoPath form in conjunction with a workflow, which can automate many different business processes.

1. Can be created and published by an Information Worker without or very little support from developers.
2. You can arrive at a screen for Data entry in matter of no time.
3. Tight integration between SharePoint & Infopath.
