Data is central to software applications. Every software application ranging from simple text file editors such as Notepad to complex applications such as a big Customer Resource Management system or Enterprise Resource Planning system works on data. Similarly data is central to every SharePoint application. In fact, as you saw in Hour 1, “Introducing SharePoint 2010,” from simply acting as a repository for data to performing intelligent operations on data SharePoint can just about do everything in managing data.
