Intelligent Automation as a Service (IAaaS) is fast becoming the go-to model for organizations that want results—without building everything in-house. But how do you know if it’s the right fit for your business?
Let’s walk through five signs that your business is ready to benefit from IAaaS—and what to do next.
What is IAaaS?
IAaaS stands for Intelligent Automation as a Service. It’s a fully managed offering that helps companies automate repetitive processes quickly—without having to invest in internal infrastructure, developers, or months-long initiatives. With IAaaS, a partner like Optezo handles the strategy, design, build, deployment, and support, so your team stays focused on higher-value work.
You’ve automated 1–2 processes… and then stalled
You got a couple of bots off the ground. Maybe invoice processing. Maybe onboarding. But after those early wins, things slowed down. Why? Most teams hit the same wall: not enough time, resources, or a roadmap to scale.
For example, one mid-sized logistics firm we worked with automated their invoice approvals and stopped there—for 9 months. Once they partnered with Optezo, they went from 2 automations to 12 within a quarter.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you’re likely ready for a more strategic, managed approach.
Your team is still buried in manual work every month
The month-end close still eats up days. HR is still chasing down documents. Finance is stuck reconciling spreadsheets. These aren’t strategic problems—but they are costly.
We recently helped a healthcare provider automate credentialing paperwork for onboarding nurses—a process that used to take 10+ hours per hire. That’s time better spent on patient care and compliance.
If the same repetitive tasks keep dragging your team down, you’ve got strong candidates for automation right now.
You don’t have the internal bandwidth to scale automation
DIY automation sounds good until you try to scale it. Hiring specialists, choosing platforms, building bots, managing infrastructure—it adds up fast.
If your team is already stretched thin, IAaaS gives you the outcomes without the overhead. A managed service lets you focus on strategy, not scripts.
And because IAaaS is modular and scalable, you can build momentum without hiring a new team.
Leadership is asking for faster wins (without big spend)
Most companies can’t afford year-long digital transformation projects anymore. They want quick, measurable wins—and they want them now.
IAaaS is purpose-built for that. No massive upfront costs, no endless timelines. Just automations live in 4 weeks, delivering ROI in months—not years.
Optezo clients typically see full payback within 90 days of deployment—especially in Finance and HR.
You want automation—just not another IT project
Your IT team is busy. You don’t want to overload them with another platform, another integration, or another backlog.
IAaaS brings in a dedicated partner to handle everything—without disrupting your existing infrastructure. It works with what you’ve already got and requires minimal lift from IT.
One customer told us, “The best part was that we didn’t have to wait on IT tickets to make progress. Optezo just ran with it.”
Final Thoughts: Are You Ready?
