Data Provider to UnityWorks! Media
A data provider is a company that

to UnityWorks! Media in a specific format using a defined
file structure on a specific schedule.

information needed by UnityWorks! Media to create a unique
automotive vehicle video for each of the included vehicles
that meet the dealership criteria.
