BCS is now offered through Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) Web Services endpoints.

Monthly fee $5 - $27(priced per user) you can avoid any hardware, setup, or installation headaches.

There is a trial period so you can get a feel for it before you buy

Office Desktop Setup – each workstation will need to apply updates to work with Office 365 to it full potential. These updates are called Office desktop setup – at no charge.

If your looking for “full” SharePoint experience you can find companies that will host a “local cloud”. Using Standard or Enterprise you will get all the features. Down side is the cost of SharePoint licensing plus the cost of providing the service.

Online doesn’t support are:◦SharePoint Timer Job◦Records Center functionality◦Much of the Business Intelligence

and PerformancePoint functionality◦Advanced Search features

Business Connectivity ServicesWas introduced in SharePoint Server 2007 as

(BDC) Business Data Catalog◦ Used an XML definition file to define the mapping

between SharePoint and your external data so it can be rendered in a Web Part.

◦ You could now use BDC to connect to the company’s LOB system and pull information in search results

◦ BDC was hard to create solutions with because of the lack of a designer.

◦ It was easy to create a read-only solution but it was not so simple to create a solution that let users make changes and write back to the external store.

Business Connectivity Services

Business Connectivity ServicesBusiness Data Catalog was renamed

to Business Data Connectivity in 2010. BDC is one component which makes up the Business Connectivity Service (BCS). BCS in SharePoint 2010 enhances the SharePoint platform’s capabilities with out-of-box features, services and tools that streamline development of solutions with deep integration of external data and services.

Business Connectivity Services

Business Connectivity ServicesWrite-Back to External

SystemsUsing Business Connectivity Services, you can Create, Read, Update, Delete, and Query (CRUDQ) to the external system from a Microsoft Office application or SharePoint site if the external system supports the operations and is modeled appropriately in the Business Data Connectivity (BDC) service.

Business Connectivity ServicesFamiliar UI

External content types provide SharePoint behaviors (such as lists, Web Parts, and profile pages) and Office Type behaviors (such as Microsoft Outlook Contacts, Tasks, and Calendars, Microsoft Word documents, and Microsoft SharePoint Workspace 2010 lists), and capabilities (such as searching and working offline) to external data and services. As a result, users can work in their familiar work environments without needing to learn different (and often proprietary) user interfaces.

Business Connectivity Services Offline Access to External Data

Business Connectivity Services provides rich cache and offline work features, and supports cache-based operations. Users working with solutions that are deployed on Microsoft Office 2010 applications, such as Microsoft Outlook 2010 and Microsoft SharePoint Workspace 2010, can manipulate external data efficiently, even when they are working offline or if the server connectivity is slow, intermittent, or unavailable. The read/write operations performed against cached external entities are synchronized when connection to the server becomes available. It also provides a flexible external data caching mechanism that is as transparent as possible while still enabling the user or application to have explicit control over the content of the cache when required via automatic and manual cleanup.

Business Connectivity ServicesBatch and Bulk Operations

SupportIn Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, BDC supported only single item operations, such as search. BDC now provides batch and bulk operation support which enable you to read multiple items in a single call thus reducing round trips to the backend dramatically.

Business Connectivity ServicesSecurity

Windows Authentication (Users are authenticated by IIS against accounts in AD)◦Basic Authentication – Transmits user

names and passwords as clear text.◦Digital Authentication – Transmits a secure

hash containing the user name and password.◦ Integrated Authentication – Transmits a

token that was created when the user originally logged on to the network. Integrated has two protocols – NTLM and Kerberos

Business Connectivity ServicesNTLM authenticates clients using a challenge-

response mechanism (authentication on each individual resource)

Kerberos – is a ticket–based authentication (single authentication that is good for all resources)

Kerberos and NTLM are both secure protocols, Kerberos is the most secure because it authenticates both the client and the server. NTLM authenticates only the client. Kerberos is less “Chatty” then NTLM, which requires more communication to accomplish authentication. However, Kerberos requires special configuration steps while NTLM just works out of the box.
