What is the Automation Readiness Assessment?
The Automation Readiness Assessment (ARA) is a diagnostic tool designed to evaluate your organization's maturity and preparedness for automation initiatives. Unlike technology-focused audits, the ARA takes a holistic approach that examines processes, infrastructure, skills, culture, and compliance considerations.
Evaluates all dimensions of automation readiness, from technical infrastructure to organizational culture.
Provides clear, prioritized recommendations with implementation roadmaps tailored to your context.
Aligns automation initiatives with business objectives and long-term organizational goals.
