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 the Office 2007 system to help information workers share data, enforce processes and business rules, and work more efficiently together or solo. You'll learn about the benefits and requirements of organizational workflow and then watch as author David Mann builds an increasingly advanced workflow process, making use of both out-of-the-box and custom-developed functionality. You'll also get a taste of advanced workflow topics, and learn about additional reference materials and samples to build your own workflow process around Office 2007. The book comes with reusable, real-world code samples.
