Whether your're writing a package to pull data from a database, or a web form to collect data from users, you're doing the same thing: getting the data. This is all part of the "E" in ETL (extract, transform, load).
I wrote last week about the similarities between SSIS and Windows Workflow Foundation; they're really similar in my opinion.
When I'm working now, I'm starting to "bucket" data collection tasks (be they user-facing forms or databases) into the same category. I think this is helping things out, architecturally.
What are your experiences with this?
