  2. What is BCS • Business Connectivity Services is a centralized infrastructure in SharePoint 2013 and Office 2013 that supports integrated data solutions. With Business Connectivity Services, you can use SharePoint 2013 and Office 2013 clients as interfaces into data that doesn’t live in SharePoint 2013 itself

  3. Which problems does it solve? Every company deals with data that is located in different places, is accessed in different ways, and is used for different purposes. Some of this data might live in SharePoint 2013 and some of it might not. Companies might have complete control over some of that data in file shares and databases and SharePoint 2013, as in the case of their sensitive employee records and content about product research. It is just as likely that they will use other data that they do not have control over, data that is provided by a third party, such as customer information or stock quotes. Companies then have to develop business processes that use the important data from each of those sources to accomplish their business goals.

  4. Examples – Help Desk • Enterprise help desks that provide internal technical support can use Business Connectivity Services. For example, the support tickets and the knowledge base that the help desk technicians use are stored in two separate databases, both of which are not in SharePoint 2013. By using Business Connectivity Services, the company can retrieve data from both sources, filter and sort it, and then present it for interaction in an external list in SharePoint 2013.

  5. Infrastructure • Business Connectivity Services is a centralized infrastructure that supports integrated data solutions. By itself, the infrastructure is unaware of any external system or external data. Business Connectivity Services and the Office 2013 clients need to be told where the external data is, how to connect to it, and what can be done with it.

  6. Managed Authentication • Another advantage of the centralized infrastructure in Business Connectivity Services is that it handles the security transactions with the external system.

  7. Search Content • Because the Business Connectivity Services infrastructure is built into SharePoint 2013, it takes advantage of common SharePoint 2013 features such as Search.

  8. How does it work? • Business Connectivity Services has server-side components and client-side components. Business Connectivity Services solutions can include one or the other or both in a single solution.

  9. Client-side features • In the client-side version of Business Connectivity Services solutions, the Office 2013 applications interact with external data. A client-side solution can run independently of SharePoint.

  10. On-premises deployment • The first solution is one where the SharePoint 2013 farm and the external system are both behind a company’s firewall and live in company-controlled data centers and users will have to be on the company’s network to access it.

  11. Cloud Solution • Business Connectivity Services in a SharePoint Online tenancy can access data from various cloud services. For example, SharePoint Online can access data from a third-party stock quotes service or from the Windows Azure Marketplace Data Market by using the Business Connectivity Services web service connector.
