Cisco Introduces Motific



Cisco announced the launch of Motific, their first SaaS product aimed at accelerating the adoption of Generative AI (GenAI) within organizations. This product, born from Cisco’s Outshift incubation business, provides a centralized view of the GenAI deployment journey, giving IT and security teams the tools to implement trusted GenAI capabilities efficiently while maintaining control over data security, compliance, and costs.

The demand for AI-powered technology has increased significantly, with 97% of companies feeling the urgency to implement AI solutions. However, many organizations struggle to ensure that the AI models they use are based on reliable, use-specific data that complies with organizational policies. Tailoring GenAI applications to match their use cases is a common challenge, highlighting the need for up-to-date and clean data acquired through techniques like Recovery Augmented Generation (RAG).

Motific aims to streamline the GenAI deployment process by reducing deployment times from months to days. It provides compliance checks for overuse, overspending, and integration of organization-specific data sources, as well as automating the configuration of wizards, APIs, and RAGs across the organization. The platform also offers policy controls for sensitive data, security, and trust-related risks, providing enterprise-level security and data controls to mitigate potential issues.

By tracking business insights and return on investment (ROI), Motific helps organizations monitor costs and analyze the effectiveness of AI deployments. The platform also prevents the use of unauthorized AI capabilities within organizations, ensuring that IT administrators can provide alternative solutions that comply with organizational standards and budgets.

According to Vijoy Pandey, senior vice president of Outshift by Cisco, Motific accelerates the value enterprises derive from GenAI by reducing risks and enabling faster innovation. The product will be previewed at Cisco Live EMEA and will be generally available in June 2024, allowing organizations to experience the benefits of streamlined GenAI deployment processes.

Cisco’s continued efforts to meet the evolving AI and security compliance demands of enterprises underscore their commitment to providing innovative solutions that enable organizations to leverage AI technologies effectively and securely. Motific represents a significant step forward in empowering organizations to quickly and efficiently deploy trusted GenAI capabilities within their operations.
