To quote MS
"You can use InfoPath forms to efficiently collect data from other people 
in your team or organization. After collecting the data you need, you can 
reuse it elsewhere, perhaps by integrating it into an existing business 
process or by using it in another software program. For example, the staff 
at a hospital registration desk might use an InfoPath form to collect data 
from incoming patients. That data can then be routed directly from the form 
to other places in the hospital and reused by doctors, nurses, and 
pharmacists."
