Merchants that employ SAP software as their business foundation can now add payment capabilities more easily as a result of a collaboration between CyberSource Corporation (NASDAQ: CYBS) and Delego Software. The new software-as-a-service (SaaS) capability, in which CyberSource hosts the SAP-certified DelegoSRV integration, allows merchants to substitute a single online connection to CyberSource for what had been a laborious and expensive on-premise software installation. CyberSource payment experts manage all implementation, configuration, testing, connectivity, and maintenance.

Once connected to CyberSource, merchants gain on-demand access to a full spectrum of payment management services, including global payment processing, fraud management, and payment security services. The managed service integration is available in two forms, Standard and Security-Enhanced. Merchants that opt for the Security-Enhanced service have their customers’ payment account information stored remotely in CyberSource’s secure (PCI-DSS certified) payment data storage system, where tokens are substituted for payment data. Merchants use these tokens to transact, issue credits, refresh authorizations and manage recurring billing, and in doing so safeguard sensitive payment information from hackers and merchant employee theft.

“What we are now offering our SAP software-based customers is quicker, more cost-effective access to the payment capabilities they seek,” said David Glaser, Vice President, CyberSource Global Services. “It’s a simpler process for them. They can leave the challenges of integration and management to us within our PCI-compliant operation, and still utilize an SAP Certified Integration solution.”
