InfoPath client...Forms Services
Excel client...Excel Services
Access client...uh?
As SharePoint implementations evolve beyond content management and collaboration, there is often a need for custom applications with normalized data models. SharePoint's AllUserData table just doesn't cut it some times.
The business data catalog certainly enhances existing applications, but I think there is a real demand to replace those systems or create new ones. I also think that the value proposition for doing this type of thing with the current SharePoint product line is weak because it requires a lot of custom development.
I think Microsoft should provide the marketplace with Access Services for SharePoint. Perhaps such a feature could provide a way to upsize Access applications to SharePoint, upgrading the Access forms to ASP.NET web part pages and databases to SQL Server.
