Business Connectivity Services (BCS) Primer

The BCS is actually a platform that provides a SharePoint-based framework for creating composite applications, which are built by combining services and functionality from other enterprise applications to address the collaborative needs of users. These composite applications use the Office client user interface in addition to the functionality of the application. This helps people perform their tasks within the familiar user interface of the Office and SharePoint Server systems, and allows people to take actions and make decisions within the context of the problem at hand.
