“As more and more content is being acquired and produced, the pressure is on media organizations everywhere to not only automate more of the process but gain more value from their content,” said Kevin Savina, director of product strategy, Dalet. “We have explored with our customers the many ways in which AI technologies can bring value to their business and operations. The key to success is to have the ability to combine the right mix of AI models for a given content type and set of outcomes expected; then automatically curate and leverage the data these models generate to create contextual, actionable insights for content producers and operations managers within their day-to-day tools and workflows.”

The service maximizes efficiency, effectiveness and enables new business models. It augments productions with better content search and insights, automates mundane tasks and processes, and brings collaboration to a whole new level. On the distribution side, audiences are better-served thanks to higher quality content and richer, personalized multi-platform experiences.

Ultimately it helps media organizations connect their content to opportunities.”
