According to Dalet, the acquisition of the assets, personnel, and customers will expand the Dalet offering to verticals and tiers beyond its traditional customer base in news and production workflows and will accelerate the company’s strategic move to increase recurring-revenue models, with subscription\/SaaS-based services.<\/p>\n
\u201cDalet significantly widens the markets it can address in terms of verticals and their respective tiers of complexity,\u201d says Dalet CEO David Lasry<\/strong>. \u201cA perfect complement to our existing Dalet Galaxy five offering in our traditional markets, the Ooyala Flex Media Platform also opens opportunities for new customers \u2014 such as corporate brands, telcos, leagues, and sports teams \u2014 who are looking to simply manage their media assets.\u201d<\/p>\n Lasry says the modern metadata-management and orchestration capabilities of the Ooyala Flex Media Platform bring what these organizations need to lower TCO, improve agility, and reduce time to market. Furthermore, Dalet products and services will enable Ooyala customers to augment and expand their Ooyala Flex Media Platform.<\/p>\n “We have a technology path forward supported by expanded, world-class professional services and customer success teams that can provide the know-how and expert guidance on scaling media operations to optimize the value of their Ooyala investment,” he adds.<\/p>\n Ooyala\u2019s customers represent such brands as Sky Sports, Fox Sports Australia, National Rugby League, Turner Asia, TV2, The Picture Production Company, HBO Asia, Media Prima, and Smoke and Mirrors.<\/p>\n \u201cI am incredibly proud of what Ooyala has accomplished,\u201d says Ooyala CEO Jonathan Huberman<\/strong>. \u201cOur talented research and engineering team has built a renowned technology platform that powers core media workflows for some of the world\u2019s most iconic brands.
