InstallShield and CyberSource partner to provide digital distribution of software

Call Center Solutions, Aug 1999

CyberSource Corporation, a provider of Internet commerce services, and InstallShield Software Corporation, a developer of software deployment tools, have announced an alliance. Under the terms of the agreement, CyberSource SmartCert digital certificate technology has been incorporated into InstallShield's new InstallFromTheWeb 3.0, a "one-click download and install" solution. By reducing the risk of unauthorized downloads, CyberSource digital certificates are designed to help Web merchants increase their revenues and improve their operating margins. Web merchants and ISVs also gain access to the CyberSource Internet Commerce Suite of payment, tax, risk management, fulfillment management and distribution control services without having to integrate additional software. The SmartCert technology can be integrated into most digital distribution or media player applications, eliminating the need for wrappers, logins or other authentication and antifraud techniques.
