Needs

The ANNONCE ad server, the online version of the largest ad paper in the Czech Republic, continues to be one of the most visited servers on the Czech Internet. The goal from the beginning was to provide users with comfortable ad services using the most modern technologies. Long-term cooperation on the portal began in 1997 with the registration of the domain www.annonce.cz and continues to this day.

  • Banner Manager - A complex system to administers banner advertisements of various formats on portals.
  • On-line corrections
  • Import center
  • Pay center
  • Specialized servers (Autohandl and Nemostránky)
