Our take
As the digital revolution changes the way people consume and engage with media, it's critical for producers to adapt, taking advantage of new technologies and the possibilities of the data they are receiving from their customers. Founded in 1990, Dalet is a media technology provider which provides a suite of tools for recording, presenting, producing, distributing and maximising engagement with media of all types.
While media production was in the past carried out in house, the scope of expertise required for digital channels now far exceeds the capabilities of even the biggest producers. For instances, Serie A, the top Italian football league, found partnering with Dalet to be a significant technological improvement, greatly increasing its production values while reducing its workload through workflow automation. Dalet's products and services are similarly benefiting a range of enormous firms, including Fox, the BBC, Mediacorp and France TV.
In 2019, Dalet acquired Ooyala's Flex media platform, giving it access to new verticals in digital media distribution. It has since developed this into a collaborative media platform, allowing teams to coordinate on metadata management, vital for getting eyes on in the digital space. Going forward, Dalet will continue to develop new capabilities and make strategic acquisitions to provide its customers with the services they need to stay competitive in a changing digital landscape.
