The Clifton Gunderson's audit services require clients to provide business information on complex paper forms, but the firm did not have an efficient method of collecting, storing, accessing, or sharing that data. To better capture in-depth client data, the firm used Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003 XML-based forms to connect with a Microsoft SQL Server 2000 database so that client data can be rolled-forward, updated, shared, and accessed by employees and clients through other XML-enabled Microsoft Office Professional Enterprise Edition 2003 programs. The InfoPath 2003 forms are expected to reduce the time for clients to update and submit data from several days to a few hours.
