Dalet Galaxy five Media Asset Management (MAM) and Workflow Orchestration platform has just been chosen by Galei Tsahal (Galatz), Israel national radio network. This station is well known for its music radio station, but also for its news and thematic shows.

The implementation of Dalet Galaxy five will allow Galatz to enhance the production and delivery of the music, but also the news-related content via social media networks. In words of Izak Pasternak, head of the technical department of Galatz, “In terms of social media, today there is no connection between the system that is broadcasting content and the social media channels we want to publish to. With more and more people consuming news and content through social networks, it’s imperative for us to move to an integrated platform that can help us engage with audiences on a whole new level. Dalet Galaxy five enables us to do just that.”

This is possible thanks to features such as Dalet On-the-Go (which allows journalist to submit news packages from a mobile device, even direct to air) and the use of AI-powered speech-to-text algorithms. Pasternak explains the new possibilities that Dalet Galaxy five provides: “The upgrade to Dalet Galaxy five is enabling us to build a new content value chain, better integrating our social media channels across our operations, and leveraging AI services to make our entire inventory more discoverable and better monetized. We are able to make this quantum leap forward with the confidence of a decade-long partnership that is embedded in collaboration and success.”

Dalet Galaxy five also will permit Galatz to make its archive open to the public through an online portal: “Until now our content producers had to manually add metadata into the media asset management system, then an archivist would review it to make sure it was filled in properly. If our archives team wanted to find something, they had to remember how it might be catalogued and in which categories. Going back into the archive to transcribe it all manually would have been cost-prohibitive. Now, with Dalet Media Cortex everything is searchable since it’s processed through the speech-to-text engine. This saves us significant resource time and effort. And what’s more important, Israeli citizens can sit at home and enjoy the archive, simply by searching online. Dalet Media Cortex has made it extremely easy to search and find content from any point in time since 1950, which to a large degree, is the history of Israel itself.”
