London, 11th September 2018, Published in PRLeap

51Degrees is delighted to announce its agreement with Seznam.cz, leader of the Czech online market.

As a leading online publisher, search engine and advertising platform, Seznam.cz understands the importance of delivering a fast, tailored service to maximise positive user-experience. But with the ever-increasing global smart phone usage and browser diversity, Seznam.cz's previous device detection solution was failing to deliver and the decision to change became necessary.

After reviewing all the major device detection suppliers Seznam.cz selected 51Degrees Enterprise solution due to the:

  • superior accuracy
  • speed
  • coverage
  • and frequency of updates

51Degrees has also enabled Seznam.cz to tailor the product to its specific needs, which has resulted in the improved provision of its services to Czech users.

We chose 51Degrees to supply the device database for Seznam.cz because it delivers stable up-to-date information, high performance and the flexibility to include our own rules. A great benefit is the NGINX API that will help us integrate the new solution into our systems. Tomáš WernerHead of Product, Seznam

Using 51Degrees, the targeting capability for mobile devices has improved and the number of undetected devices has decreased by 50%. Seznam are also reporting a 70% accuracy improvement.

It provides us with more precise information about our users, and the targeting capability for mobile devices is much better. 51Degrees provides highly accurate device detection in a fast-paced and dynamic ecosystem with new phone models, OS versions and platforms. Jakub NovotnýProgrammatic Manager, Seznam
