A method for presenting a data handling method on a graphical user interface includes identifying a type of service associated with a pending data handling process, sending one or more user characterizations associated with a user's identity to a server for performing the data handling process, receiving data handling capabilities corresponding to one or more data handling methods for performing the identified type of service, determining one or more candidate data handling methods to be displayed on a graphical user interface (GUI) of the client computing device, initiating display of the candidate data handling methods on the client computing device GUI based on the data handling capabilities, performing the pending data handling process with a particular data handling method selected from the candidate data handling methods, and sending a performance result associated with the pending data handling process.
