Abstract

A mechanism is provided for directing users to preferred software services. An indication from a user for a software service that provides a function identified by the user is identified. One or more software services that provide the function identified by the user are identified and a determination is made as to whether an existing subscription is in place for a subset of the one or more software services. Responsive to the existing subscription being in place for the subset of the one or more software services, the subset of software services that have existing subscriptions are presented to the user.
