I thought I would post a blog entry about one of my favorite new features of Office SharePoint Server 2007: the Business Data Catalog (BDC), which enables integration with LOB and other applications by connecting via Web services or ADO.NET interfaces and displaying business data on the portal without any coding.
The BDC is essentially a catalog of business applications that are of interest to SharePoint Server 2007 users, and it bridges the gap between the portal and business applications by bringing in key data from various applications to SharePoint sites, lists, search, and user profiles. The BDC is the key infrastructural component around which most of the other business data features of SharePoint Server 2007 are built.
