• storing a workflow indicating an execution sequence of processing in association with the registered service in a workflow storage unit;
• receiving authentication information including user authentication information used for user authentication and device authentication information used for device authentication from the device connected via the network;
• executing authentication processing of the received authentication information;
• specifying, when the authentication information is authenticated, a service associated with the authentication information based on the authentication information and the management information;
• and
• executing including receiving a use request of a specified service from the device connected via the network and executing processing according to the workflow stored in association with the specified service in response to the use request.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium containing an information processing program causing an information processing device to function as a service provision system that provides a service to a device connected thereto via a network, the program causing the information processing device to function as:

• a management information storage unit that stores management information for managing user identification information for identifying a user, device identification information for identifying a first device, and service identification information for identifying a service registered as a use object in association with one another;
• a workflow storage unit that stores a workflow indicating an execution sequence of processing in association with the registered service;
• an authentication information receiving unit that receives authentication information including user authentication information used for user authentication and device authentication information used for device authentication from the device connected via the network;
• an authentication unit that executes authentication processing of the received authentication information;
• a service specifying unit that specifies, when the authentication information is authenticated, a service associated with the authentication information based on the authentication information and the management information;
• and
• an execution unit that receives a use request of a specified service from the device connected via the network and executes processing according to the workflow stored in association with the specified service in response to the use request.
