Abstract
A method and system for using a graphical user interface for display and navigation of a three-dimensional navigational cube to assess vendors for meeting requirements of a service provider for deploying a selected service. A three-dimensional navigational cube configured to be navigated is generated and displayed. Mutually orthogonal axes of the navigational cube comprise subservices that the service provider must have to implement the selected service, vendors able to implement at least one of the subservices, and requirements stipulated by the service provider that are to be met for implementing the subservices. Selections sequentially received from a user include: one or more planar sections of the navigational cube, a vector of co-linear subcubes within one of the planar sections, and a single subcube within the selected vector which selects a vendor able to meet requirements for implementing the subservice for the selected single subcube.
