The present invention provides a method and system for determining in which technological layer a module of a MOM application is to be deployed. The specific MOM application comprises at least two modules independently deployable in at least two technological layers. For the specific MOM application, it is defined a set of characteristics parameters characterizing business, process and information technology characteristics of the specific MOM application relevant for technological layer computation purposes. For each given module, it is defined a layer-deploying function, having as input a subset of the characteristic parameters and having as output a range value determining the technological layer to deploy the module at configuration time. For at least one of the given modules, it is determined the corresponding deploying technological layer by applying its corresponding layer-deploying function.
