SharePoint Guidance Paper: Understand the Business Connectivity Service in SharePoint 2010, and How you might use it....

This is the first in a series of 15 Guidance papers that take the deeper look into all of the underlying software components in the SharePoint 2010 architecture.  The objective of the series is to provide the essential information necessary for solution architects, planners and designers (what we call SharePoint Business Professionals™) evaluating SharePoint suitability for enterprise applications.  

Who should read this?

• LOB Management looking to deploy and define applications
• Integrators
• IT Management

About the SharePoint 2010 Guidance Paper Series:

SharePoint 2010 generates noise, and random expertise available on the internet in blogs, wiki's and "opinion" like nothing else that has ever come before.  The Kollabria goal is to do the research in order to make it easier for you to do your job. That means:

• present the facts from a research and educational perspective, 
• break down the Microsoft data sheets and TechNet documentation into real world scenarios,
• provide meaningful constructs to make it easier to identify wrong, misleading, skewed and self-serving information readily available on the internet.
