Intelligent Process Automation Readiness: The AI-Ready Portco Playbook

Legacy portfolio companies often rush into intelligent process automation before the operational foundations are stable. The result is brittle automations, inconsistent outcomes, and expanding exception backlogs. This article defines the readiness criteria that make intelligent automation scalable (data maturity, process clarity, governance, workflow redesign, and telemetry) and provides a phased modernization plan operators can use to prepare portcos before automation at scale. It also shows how Haptiq’s Orion, Pantheon, and Olympus map to readiness using one feature from each product.
