Portal26, a technology company based in Los Gatos, California, has unveiled its new AI Value Realization Solution, aimed at addressing the gap between spending on generative AI and the measurable returns from such investments. The company positions this solution as a decision support layer that utilizes signals from enterprise user behavior to pinpoint which AI applications and agents are most likely to yield high value. This module also guides organizations on how to effectively develop and deploy these AI solutions.
Describing itself as a pioneer in the realm of GenAI security solutions since 2023, Portal26 has previously launched several tools, including the Zero Day Shadow AI Discovery Engine in 2024 and GenAI License Intelligence in 2025. With the introduction of the Value Realization module in 2026, the company is expanding its focus beyond governance and security, diving into what it terms strategic intelligence for scaling enterprise GenAI programs.
The Value Realization module is the result of collaboration with various enterprise design partners and specifically targets a widespread issue in enterprise AI initiatives: converting broad experimentation into a coherent strategy that generates tangible business impact. Portal26 asserts that its solution promotes rapid and evidence-based decisions regarding GenAI investments and programs, aiming to improve outcomes such as the conversion from proof-of-concept to production, utilization rates, business impact, and cost-effectiveness. Moreover, the module enhances aspects like agent design, rollout execution, user education, and policy enforcement.
According to the company, the new module caters to a wider array of stakeholders compared to its previous GenAI adoption platform. Key users include Chief AI Officers, AI product managers, finance leaders focused on cost and return on investment, as well as personnel involved in workforce development, alongside CIOs, CISOs, and other functional executives.
Portal26 cites research indicating that a staggering 95% of enterprise GenAI proof-of-concept projects fail, often due to uninformed and top-down planning approaches. The company claims its methodology leverages continuous enterprise signals to help forecast high-impact use cases while ensuring ongoing effectiveness as AI needs evolve.
In framing the AI Value Realization module, Portal26 believes it completes what it views as the three pillars essential for enterprise GenAI adoption: Shadow AI discovery and mitigation, GenAI security and governance, and value realization through informed decision-making on investment, cost management, and return on investment.
“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 of 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.”
Echoing this perspective, Pakshi Rajan, Chief GenAI & Product Officer at Portal26, noted, “Companies everywhere are struggling to balance the intense pressure to adopt GenAI with the lack of return. 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.”
As businesses increasingly feel the pressure to integrate AI technologies, the introduction of the AI Value Realization Solution highlights the ongoing challenges faced in this area. By fostering a more strategic and informed approach, Portal26 aims to help enterprises maximize their generative AI investments and drive meaningful results in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.
