Business Data Catalog - MSDN

One of the major design goals for Business Data Catalog is to enable you to surface business data from various LOB applications such as SAP, Siebel, and databases in Office SharePoint Server 2007 with minimal coding effort.

In SharePoint Server 2010 this is called Business Connectivity Services (BCS).
