InfoPath 2010 is a forms-creation and information-gathering program. Users can create forms without writing code, and developers can create advanced forms for departmental and business processes.

The 2010 version adds the Fluent user interface, which simplifies navigation by replacing menus and toolbars with a set of task-based tabs known as the Ribbon. The Ribbon's new File tab displays Microsoft Office Backstage view, which provides users with commonly accessed commands when opening or finishing a document and groups together related tasks.

For nontechnical users, the WYSIWYG form development environment, drag-and-drop placement of form controls, and prebuilt template parts simplify form creation. If more advanced forms are needed, developers can enhance InfoPath forms using Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications, included with InfoPath 2010, which provides a lightweight version of the Visual Studio Integrated Development Environment.

The electronic forms created with InfoPath can be deployed through email or hosted inside other Office programs for other InfoPath users to complete.

When used with SharePoint Server 2010, InfoPath provides the following additional features:

• Forms can be deployed via InfoPath Forms Services through the web or mobile devices and filled out by users without InfoPath installed.
• Forms can be created from information stored in SharePoint lists, allowing team members to access shared information and collaborate.
• Forms can be managed as a component of SharePoint Server.
• Developers can create SharePoint applications, such as forms-driven processes that make use of SharePoint Server's built-in workflow capabilities.
• Data from multiple sources can be combined simultaneously using web services, XML, SQL Server, and SharePoint Server 2010 data connections within the same form.
