Workflow in the 2007 Microsoft Office System (Corrected , Corr. 2nd Printing)

Workflow is the next hot area in Microsoft Office-based technology, enabling workers to share data, enforce process and business rules and work more efficiently, together and individually. This book is written by a developer and architect with 9 years' experience building Information Worker solutions, including custom workflow engines and third-party workflow products. The book takes an approach rooted in real world business and technical problems from the Information Worker space and methodically walks through the process of building a solid, useable workflow solution. The author challenges readers to view the Office System and workflow in a new light and to expand their comfort level developing solutions within the Office System. Unlike quick references that scratch the surface of new technology, this book benefits the serious Information Worker developer - a growing group in IT - who is interested in learning the inner workings of workflow and Office 12.
