Abstract

See full text

An approach is provided for creating and managing pricing models and subscriptions for packages of computer-implemented applications. As used herein, the term “package” refers to a logical entity that has one or more member computer-implemented applications, where each of the member computer-implemented applications provides one or more services. One or more pricing models may be assigned to a package and made available to subscribers and the pricing models assigned to a package may be changed. Users may subscribe to one or more packages of computer-implemented applications and incur charges based upon the pricing models assigned to the packages of computer-implemented applications to which the users subscribe. Embodiments include providing a graphical user interface for service providers to create and manage packages of computer-implemented applications, define pricing models and to manage pricing model assignments for packages of computer-implemented applications. Embodiments also include providing a graphical user interface for subscribers to view available applications and packages in a “marketplace” and to subscribe to packages of computer-implemented applications and manage their subscriptions.
