1. A computer-implemented method for creating a custom data transform element, the method comprising: receiving packaged custom data transform element parameters at an information handling system wherein the information handling system hosts an automated development system platform for creating an integrated business process application; registering a custom data transform element for executing a user-defined data transformation in a pre-determined directory of data transform elements of the automated development system platform, wherein the custom data transform element parameters describe the custom data transform element; and updating the automated development system platform with the custom data transform element wherein the custom data transform element becomes part of the automated development system; wherein the received custom data transform element parameters include configuration requirements for the custom data transform element, custom implementation code for executing the user-defined data transformation, and data identifying the custom data transform element.
