Give me my data!

This 2 part webcast/podcast from Ron Jacob's ARCast show is a very interesting look at the new Business Data Catalog feature of Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server 2007. This is such a great concept, let IT catalog all the data sources available, secure them, describe them, control them, etc. Then turn 'em loose and let the business community incorporate that data into their SharePoint sites along with any other content they like.

This is the kind of enabling technology that will let IT start to build information platforms instead of custom applications and finally get out of the way of the business.
