Business Connectivity Services

Connect SharePoint 2010 to any data source.

Between juggling telephone calls and email, you’ve got information from documents and spreadsheets located in several different places, or numerous disparate systems. Business Connectivity Services (BCS) solves this dilemma by bridging the gap between Microsoft SharePoint 2010 sites and your business application data sources.

BCS makes it easy to create an external content type using SharePoint Designer 2010 and create an external list in SharePoint’s Web user interface. Take your lists offline into MS Outlook and update aspects of your data without touching the infrastructure.

Share and track project tasks using list libraries

SharePoint 2010 Composites provide the flexibility you need.
