Business Data Connectivity Services
Business Connectivity Services is a centralized infrastructure in
SharePoint that supports integrated data solutions. With Business
Connectivity Services, you can use SharePoint clients as interfaces
into data that doesn’t live in SharePoint itself. For example, this
external data may be in a database and it is accessed by using the outof-the-box Business Connectivity Services connector for that database.
