Provider

A provider is a connector for Data Exchange Framework. It includes all of the components needed in order to incorporate data from a system into synchronization processes.

A provider typically includes:

• Sitecore templates used to configure synchronization processes
• Plugins that accomodate settings that are unique to the system being integrated
• Pipeline steps that provide the ability to interact with the system being integrated
• Converters that transform the Sitecore items based on the provider templates into framework components
