Integration made easy. Enterprise Enabler for WSS allows you to visually build connectivity, create relationships across multiple sources, and map them to an ADO.NET object. The “behind the scenes” executables to access and transform the data are handled automatically, and you simply read and write to the EE ADO .Net driver. You have all the data access capabilities in WSS that you would have in SharePoint 2010 through the Business Connectivity Services, including full write-back to data sources with Create, Read, Update and Delete (CRUD) capabilities.

A .NET framework for creating model driven, multi layered applications. ECO is a tool for Domain Driven Development (DDD). ECO users build their systems directly from the Domain Model, increasing productivity, and ensuring that the system actually matches the user’s needs. While the internals of ECO are complex, using it is very easy. The classes of the problem domain such as Customers and Invoices are defined in a Class Model. ECO will then generate the database schema, the code for the domain classes, and the information for mapping the classes to the database tables. And better yet, when you change your model, ECO will merge the changes into your code, and update your database schema while preserving your precious data. A feature referred to as Database Evolution.
