Cisco launches Motific, enabling organisations to navigate the complex world of generative AI deployment.
Cisco announced the launch of Motific, its first SaaS product that allows for trustworthy generative AI (GenAI) deployments in organisations. Born from Outshift, Cisco’s incubation business, Motific provides a central view across the entire GenAI journey, empowering central IT and security teams to rapidly deliver trustworthy GenAI capabilities across their organisations with control over sensitive data, security, responsible AI, and cost.
“Cisco is rapidly accelerating its product offerings for customers in the Generative AI space to meet the growing artificial intelligence and security compliance demands of enterprises,” said Vijoy Pandey, Senior Vice President, Outshift by Cisco. “Motific accelerates the time to value an enterprise organisation spends on GenAI usage and deployment by mitigating the risk up-front and enabling teams to innovate faster.”
Since the expansion and breadth of access to GenAI, 97% of companies have reported that the urgency to deploy AI-powered technology has increased. However, many organisations face challenges in ensuring the AI being utilised includes trustworthy, use-case-specific data that complies with organisational policies. One of the biggest hurdles facing organisations is the ability to tailor GenAI applications and solutions on knowledge bases and data sources that are custom to their specific use cases. Current and clean data are critical to operating effectively and can be achieved via techniques such as Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG).
It is time-consuming for companies to provision and manage GenAI assistants and APIs, integrate models across providers, and hire the talent to manage the process. Instead, they look for a product that can accelerate their AI deployments with minimal investment. Motific, a model and vendor agnostic product, supports the entire GenAI journey from assessment, through experimentation, to production.
Motific allows customers to deploy GenAI faster and more effectively. It cuts GenAI deployment times from months to days with compliance controls for over-usage, overrun spending, and integration of organization-specific data sources. With just a few clicks, Motific automatically configures assistants, abstracted APIs, and RAG on organization-wide data sources and foundation models while delivering optimal accuracy, cost, security, and access control.
