Dalet launches cloud-native suites for AI-driven production and archiving

Dalet is addressing the production bottleneck created by the surge in AI-generated video content. By moving from generic cloud storage to a media-aware, cloud-native orchestration layer, broadcasters can maintain governance while scaling output. The inclusion of 'agentic AI' reflects a shift in the media asset management sector toward conversational UX as a primary interface for technical workflows. This places Dalet in direct competition with cloud and IP workflow adoption from incumbents like Avid and newer players like Adobe Frame.io. Watch for adoption rates among non-traditional media sectors, such as higher education and government, which Dalet is explicitly targeting with these preconfigured packages.

The transition to cloud-native Media Asset Management (MAM) reflects a broader industry trend toward remote-first production. Per Future Market Insights, August 2025, demand for cloud-native MAM software grew 31% year-over-year as networks prioritized SaaS-based platforms over on-premise infrastructure. This shift is driven by the need for multi-format ingest and real-time retrieval as streaming services and sports networks manage exponentially larger content libraries. The market is projected to reach approximately $10.1 billion by 2035, with cloud deployments expected to hold a 64% market share, according to the same report.

Competitors are also leaning into artificial intelligence to differentiate their MAM offerings. Per Avid Technology, October 2025, the latest MediaCentral updates introduced native transcription and 'transcript-aware' search pills, allowing editors to locate video segments via spoken keywords. Similarly, Dalet's Dalia assistant, which reached commercial availability in 2026 after its IBC 2025 debut, aims to lower the barrier for non-technical teams—such as marketing and brand managers—to interact with enterprise media archives.

Regulatory and security requirements are further influencing MAM development. Per Meticulous Research, September 2025, sectors including finance and healthcare are adopting MAM solutions with embedded content governance and data privacy controls to comply with new marketing regulations. Dalet’s recent Flex updates, including OpenID Connect support and role-based permissions in the Ingest Portal, align with this demand for tightened enterprise security in distributed production environments.
