Guys This post caught my eye ...
There is a Microsoft/SharePoint toolset designed explicitly for bi-directional synchronization, and it's called FIM<http://www.microsoft.com/forefront/identitymanager/en/us/default.aspx> (Forefront Identity Manager 2010). The sync engine for this technology is the very same component that comes pre-configured (and non-customizable) with SharePoint 2010 to sync MOSS user profiles to AD. My company operates exclusively in what is a growing IAM (Identity and Access Management) market on the MS platform, and many of the skillsets overlap with those required for MOSS development (custom workflows, interoperability, etc.). If you have a look at the attached you'll see the sort of skillset required - my company is always on the lookout for this sort of skillset incidentally :) - but the reason I'm posting here is to (a) make people aware of the existence of this complementary technology, and (b) recognise where this sort of requirement comes up so you can leverage it. My company offers formal training if you want to look into doing this sort of thing yourself (the online community<http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/ilm2/threads> is not as strong yet as MOSS itself, but growing rapidly), and we offer a range of plug-and-play "connectors" for this platform using our "Identity Broker" technology, or you can subcontract our services if that's not for you.

If you need 2-way transference, you are probably better of investigating what web services are available on the system (or developing your own) and using them to update data Cheers, Nigel ________________________________ From: marko.salo...@moretonbay.qld.gov.au<mailto:marko.salo...@moretonbay.qld.gov.au> To: ozmoss@ozmoss.com<mailto:ozmoss@ozmoss.com> Date: Mon, 8 Aug 2011 15:16:25 +1000 Subject: Off topic: BDC connecting to asset management system Hi I am just wondering if anyone has ever worked on connecting MOSS 2007 to an asset management system like Hansen 8? I haven't worked with a BDC before so a lot to learn! Cheers!
