Special Broadcasting Service Corporation (SBS) is centralising its media operations on the Dalet Galaxy media asset management (MAM) platform.



SBS DaletSBS has a vision to provide a unified infrastructure to facilitate greater content collaboration across all of its departments, and orchestrate programme acquisition, preparation and distribution workflows under a single system.

In total, SBS will implement dozens of different workflows and integrate ten different systems with Dalet and the streamlined architecture will bring its archives into the production workflow and provide embedded tools to conduct programme preparation as well as emerging new media workflows from a single system.

Task-based and complex processes such as assignments, escalation protocols and error management can now be fully automated, orchestrating content flow from the moment it is received to its final destination in multiple languages and formats, with metadata intact. Key features within Dalet Galaxy track the progress of the work order in its entirety and provide employees access to real-time status data that serves both SBS technical and business decision needs.

“SBS made a strategic decision to bring our programming content under the management of a single MAM platform,” commented SBS chief technology officer Noel Leslie. “The integrated solution consolidates a number of our existing systems, unifying assets. This will allow for greater collaboration across SBS, and make it easier for us to store, access and share our content, enabling us to do what we do best – telling important diverse stories. We were also looking for a more cost-efficient approach to preparation and distribution that will positively benefit the financial bottom line. We chose to work with Dalet to achieve this in what we are confident will be the beginning of a long-term partnership.”
