Registration is now open for the 4th meeting of the Boston Area SharePoint User Group (BASPUG) taking place on August 11th, 2010, at the Microsoft NERD Center in Cambridge, MA, from 6-8PM.

We will have Asif Rehmani, a SharePoint Trainer, MVP, and Consultant, will be presenting "Creating Workflows with SharePoint Designer 2010, InfoPath and Visio".

Session Abstract
Forms and Workflows are important for automating business processes. Companies usually rely on programmers to create the forms and workflows using code. Not anymore! With InfoPath 2010 and SharePoint Designer 2010, you can create powerful data driven form composite solutions on your SharePoint sites. InfoPath gives you the ability to pull data from databases and lists, and create forms with data validation and conditional formatting. SharePoint Designer’s workflows let you then design powerful multi-step workflows centered around the form collected data, building upon the out-of-the-box reusable workflows and even import workflow designs from Visio!  In this presentation, you will see how these tools come together to design workflows and route forms across your organization for task assignment and approval.
