"Our transaction business continues to be a key differentiator and a very predictable revenue stream for CyberSource," said Bill McKiernan, chairman and CEO of CyberSource. "In today`s challenging market environment of reduced and/or frozen corporate IT budgets our outsourced transaction model resonates with businesses that are looking to conserve capital. As an indication of the strength of this business, CyberSource has processed authorizations for credit card purchases totaling approximately $1 billion per month for the first half of 2001.”

CyberSource today announced that Michael Hall has joined the company as vice president of worldwide sales. Hall joins the company from Mercury Interactive where most recently he was vice president of hosted services sales.
