Abstract

The Office 365 platform allows you to access external data from your SharePoint sites using a feature called Business Connectivity Services (BCS). This enables you to integrate corporate data stores into your office automation solution. For example, you may have an Accounting system that you need to extract data from or feed data into from within your team site. In this chapter, I will show you how to implement this functionality.
