How do we take advantage of AI? And where do we even begin?
Where Do We Start With AI? The New Assessment That Finally Gives CIOs a Clear Answer

Across every industry, executives are asking the same urgent questions:
“How do we take advantage of AI? And where do we even begin?”
AI agents, copilots, automation layers, and decision engines are reshaping how companies operate. Yet for most organizations, the biggest barrier to AI adoption isn’t budget, talent, or technology.
It’s not knowing what to do first.
CIOs and transformation leaders are stuck between pressure from the board (“What’s our AI plan?”), eager business units (“We need AI for this!”), and the reality of data problems, broken processes, and unclear ownership. It’s no surprise that early AI experiments often deliver disappointing results.
HandsFree ERP has seen this pattern for years with ERP and data transformation projects and now it’s repeating itself in AI.
This is exactly why we are bringing forward a new solution:
An AI & Agentic Scenario Assessment that shows companies where AI will actually move the needle.
The Problem: AI Excitement Without AI Direction
In a recent demo, we explored how organizations can use this new assessment tool to map their environment and uncover practical, high-value AI projects.
The biggest insight is simple:
Most companies want AI, but they haven’t defined their needs, their bottlenecks, or their readiness.
The assessment solves this by breaking down the journey into structured steps:
1. Identify the Real Operational Pain Points
Start with the process you want to improve like customer service, operations, finance, logistics, or sales.
Enter real workloads like:
- Case volumes
- Hours spent resolving issues
- Delays, errors, or manual work
The tool then uses AI to suggest likely pain points that teams face - prioritization gaps, training issues, manual handoffs, poor integrations, slow resolution, or inconsistent tracking.
Suddenly, you’re no longer guessing where the friction is.
The system surfaces it for you.
2. Map Out Systems and Data Readiness
Next, the assessment captures the ecosystem:
- CRM systems like Salesforce
- ERP platforms
- Data sources
- Compliance information
- User volumes
- Integration maturity
It also evaluates your data readiness, one of the biggest predictors of success.
This ensures the recommendations are grounded in your actual environment, not generic advice.
3. Generate a Prioritized List of AI Opportunities
This is where the assessment becomes transformational.
Based on the pain points and system landscape, the agent generates a list of AI and agentic solutions tailored to your organization. Each is ranked by:
- Expected business value
- Time to value
- Potential impact
- Technical feasibility
- Alignment with your data and system landscape
These outcomes leverage Microsoft’s AI templates and proven use cases—no vaporware, no experiments for the sake of experiments.
You walk away with the real AI roadmap your organization needs.
Why This Matters for CIOs Right Now
Every enterprise is under pressure to “do something with AI,” but without clarity, many leaders fall into common pitfalls:
❌ Launching isolated AI pilots that never scale
❌ Applying AI to broken processes and failing twice
❌ Investing in tools without a cohesive strategy
❌ Disconnected innovation across departments
❌ Overestimating data readiness
❌ Underestimating change management
This assessment eliminates the guesswork and gives executives a clear, logical, structured starting point - grounded in business value, not hype.
It answers the questions boards are asking:
- Where can AI help us right now?
- What is the ROI?
- What data gaps must be fixed?
- Which projects should we prioritize?
- What is the roadmap for the next 6–12 months?
No more “AI strategy TBD.”
No more PowerPoint wish lists.
No more scattered experiments.
AI Success Requires the Same Foundation as ERP Success
At HandsFree ERP, we’ve spent years helping organizations recover struggling ERP implementations because the foundations weren’t right:
- Bad data
- Broken processes
- Shadow systems
- Lack of ownership
- Missing governance
AI is no different.
If those issues are not resolved, AI will fail in the same way ERP projects do.
This assessment surfaces those hidden issues early—before you spend millions building solutions on shaky ground.
