1. A computer implemented method of transforming an application, said method comprising:
- assessing readiness for transformation, based on a plurality of desirable application attributes, wherein said assessing readiness for transformation further comprises;
choosing one of said desirable application attributes; and
determining a state of readiness for the chosen desirable application attribute;
wherein said state of readiness may take on a value of ready;
almost ready;
or not ready;
mapping at least some of said desirable application attributes to at least some kinds of help;
generating a proposal for transformation, based on results of said assessing and said mapping;
outputting said proposal;
performing a transformation, based on said proposal; and
deploying an on-demand service, based on said transformation.

10. A computer implemented method of transforming an application, said method comprising:
-
providing a set of desirable application attributes; providing descriptions of said desirable application attributes; providing assessment questions associated with said desirable application attributes; providing an iterative process including a-d below; (a) choosing a desirable application attribute from said set; (b) concerning said desirable application attribute, assessing readiness for transformation; (c) concerning said desirable application attribute, planning development work (d) repeating the above three steps for a plurality of desirable application attributes chosen from said set; executing said iterative process; generating a proposal for transformation, based on results of said iterative process; outputting said proposal; performing a transformation, based on said proposal; and deploying an on-demand service, based on said transformation. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)
