Portal26 Launches AI Value Realization to Turn GenAI Spend into Results
Teams are under pressure to ship GenAI, fast. Yet most companies have little visibility into how employees actually use AI day to day, and proof-of-concepts keep stalling. That gap explains why billions went into GenAI last year while returns stayed flat.
Portal26 announced the industry's first AI Value Realization Solution to fix that. The module gives product and AI leaders a way to make faster, financially responsible GenAI decisions that align with how employees work-and what the business needs.
"Companies everywhere are struggling to balance the intense pressure to adopt GenAI with the lack of return," said Pakshi Rajan, Chief GenAI & Product Officer, Portal26. "Our AI Value Realization module is the only solution that allows the organization to proactively build AI powered use cases with pre-determined impact and competitive advantage."
Why this matters for Product Development
- Prioritize use cases by predicted business impact, not hype.
- Shorten POC-to-production cycles with clear gates and success criteria.
- Instrument AI features end to end-utilization, productivity, cost, and outcomes.
- Control spend with ongoing cost attribution and value tracking.
- De-risk agentic AI development with policy enforcement and auditability.
What the module does
The strategic intelligence module analyzes continuous, granular signals across the enterprise-usage, demand, cost, productivity, and impact-and turns them into decisions at scale. Customers see improvements in POC-to-production conversion, AI utilization, measurable business impact, and cost control.
"Portal26 receives continuous granular signals from across the enterprise and analyzes them for demand, cost, productivity, and impact on an ongoing basis," said Arti Raman, CEO, Portal26. "This allows Portal26 to not only predict high-impact use cases at any given time but also support that with the full package of how these should be built and deployed. Additionally, Portal26 is in a unique position to track how AI needs change over time and to manage the effectiveness of all deployed AI. This level of decision support is unprecedented and extremely valuable for AI leaders."
How it fits into your stack
With AI Value Realization, Portal26 now covers the three pillars of enterprise GenAI adoption: shadow AI, AI security, and value realization. That means product teams can move from discovery to secure deployment to measurable outcomes without stitching tools together.
- Shadow AI: Discover and mitigate zero-day shadow AI across the company.
- AI Security: Data security, policy enforcement, risk and incident management, audit, forensics, and policy management.
- Value Realization: Predict high-impact use cases, guide build-and-deploy, and track effectiveness over time.
Who should lean in
Beyond CIOs and CISOs, the module is built for Chief AI Officers running the AI program, AI Product Managers building agentic AI features, CFOs who own cost and ROI, and Chief People Officers driving workforce enablement. If you own a roadmap, a budget, or adoption targets, this is your lane.
Practical next steps for product teams
- Baseline current AI usage and "shadow" demand across functions.
- Define business outcomes upfront (time saved, revenue lift, quality metrics) and set POC exit criteria.
- Pick 2-3 high-signal use cases, instrument everything, and review weekly.
- Graduate winners to production with policy enforcement; sunset or re-scope the rest.
- Keep a living backlog ranked by predicted impact, cost, feasibility, and risk.
