A self-service assessment for SMB customers evaluating their readiness for AI adoption. Covers data foundation, Microsoft platform readiness, security and compliance posture, governance maturity, and team capability.
The 5 readiness dimensions
AI adoption fails most often when one or more readiness dimensions aren't actually in place. The assessment walks through 5 dimensions that determine whether AI initiatives will produce real outcomes or stall.
01
Data foundation
Whether your data is organized, accessible, and governed in a way that AI can actually use it. The most common AI-stall reason.
02
Microsoft platform readiness
Whether your Microsoft 365 and Azure environment is configured to support AI capability — Copilot licensing, Azure AI Foundry access, Power Platform foundation.
03
Security & compliance
Whether your security posture and compliance framework alignment can absorb new AI capability without creating risk exposure.
04
Governance maturity
Whether you have AI governance in place — data handling policy, AI usage guidelines, deployment review, and decision accountability.
05
Team capability
Whether your team can adopt and operate AI tooling — change management, training pathways, and ongoing capability development.
What you'll get from the assessment
The assessment is calibrated to produce real, actionable output — not a generic readiness score:
- Per-dimension readiness rating. where each of the five dimensions sits (fully in place, partially in place, or needs work) with specific gap identification.
- Overall readiness scorecard. a composite view that names whether you're ready to start, ready to pilot, or ready to scale AI initiatives across your operations.
- Recommended next actions. what to do first based on where the gaps are, calibrated to your specific readiness profile.
- Where NOVO services apply. which combination of Compass, Cloud, Care, License, and Compliance services applies at your specific readiness stage, without a sales-pitch overlay.
A self-service assessment for SMB customers evaluating their readiness for AI adoption. Designed to produce real output customers can act on — not a lead-capture form disguised as a tool.

Who this assessment is for
The assessment is calibrated to SMB customers evaluating AI adoption — small and mid-sized businesses with under 500 employees, Microsoft-centric environments, and AI initiatives either underway or being considered. The output is most useful for IT leaders, operations leaders, and executives evaluating where to start with AI adoption.
The assessment is not a sales tool. It produces output you can use whether or not you ever engage NOVO.
