Integration (BCS)
The Business Connectivity Services (BCS) included with
Microsoft SharePoint, allows exposing of data
residing in other data sources through the SharePoint
interface as an external list. BCS allows a two way
synchronization with your data source, so you can edit data from
within SharePoint and it will be available in your
data source as well.
BCS can retrieve data through a SQL Server database, web
services or a custom .NET type.
