Hi,

Our office uses a set of InfoPath forms for filling daily expenses, incomes, sales, purchases etc. These files will be loaded to database using SSIS packages. The reports will be shown using SSRS.
I just gave my idea to my boss for developing an ASP.NET application, and integrating all these things to one platform. But, He tells it's not secure, and He doesn't want anybody to access the server. But, I think these Infopath forms collect some of the masters from the server database like vendors, employees, customers items etc.
My doubt is, Is infoPath/SSIS really secure than ASP.NET ?

Both InfoPath and ASP.NET application as secure as you made it!
If it done wrong you got a big hole in your system with both, so there is no difference between them in that...
If you want to convince your boss that the InfoPath solution isn't secure first learn how it can be secured, than find some flaws...Be sure you can address those flaws with your ASP.NET proposal!!!

None of them are secure or not-secure on their own. It depends on how you implement a particular functionality using these technologies.

On the other hand, if you are really building new applications with InfoPath then I would suggest you to rather think about continuity and eventually an alternative. Earlier last year, Microsoft announced that they will not be continuing InfoPath from the next version.
