1. A governed method of defining service funding for a Service Oriented Architecture (‘
- SOA’
), the method carried out in response to an event requiring a change in service funding, the method comprising;
identifying, by an aggregation of computer hardware and software, a potential SOA funding model for a business'"'"'s SOA, the potential SOA funding model governing funding of services implemented in the business'"'"'s SOA;
reviewing for approval, with an aggregation of computer hardware and software, the potential SOA funding model by relevant stakeholders of the business, wherein reviewing the potential SOA funding model comprises a governance process that governs an SOA process of the business'"'"'s SOA for defining service funding, the governance process comprising a parameter of a governance model for the business'"'"'s SOA;
creating a cost allocation plan describing allocation of costs of operation of the particular service to one or more potential funding entities of the business in accordance with the approved SOA funding model; and
