How to integrate IBM Informix data to SharePoint?

IBM Informix customers asked me how to integrate IBM Informix data to SharePoint lists. It was a long way to find this quick solution: The Business Data List Connector for SharePoint 2007 and 2010 by Layer2 offers a "SharePoint External List" by connecting a REAL SharePoint list (no Web Part) to external business data like IBM Informix in just minutes, using a very simple browser-based list settings dialogue. No additional tools are required. It can be configured easily with 3 simple settings only. Every SharePoint admin can do this. The desired data can be populated to the list and presented without any restrictions, with the full read-only (or write-back with V3.0) functionality of common SharePoint lists made available: views, sorting and grouping, filters, calculated fields, search, lookups can be created as usual. You can add your own content columns to the external data, e.g. documents, comments, ratings or other Web 2.0 content. With V2.0 all list types are supported, e.g. contacts, tasks, events or KPI lists. List workflows and notifications per RSS or email can be used to take business actions in SharePoint, if external business data records are changed.
