Cisco Systems, Inc. has launched Motific, a new SaaS product designed to enable organizations to navigate the complex world of generative AI (GenAI) deployment. The product, born from Outshift, Cisco’s incubation business, aims to provide a central view across the entire GenAI journey, empowering central IT and security teams to rapidly deliver trustworthy GenAI capabilities across their organizations with control over sensitive data, security, responsible AI, and cost.

With the expansion and breadth of access to GenAI, 97% of companies have reported an increased urgency to deploy AI-powered technology. However, many organizations face challenges in ensuring the AI being utilized includes trustworthy, use-case specific data that complies with organizational policies. One of the biggest hurdles facing organizations is the ability to tailor GenAI applications and solutions on knowledge bases and data sources that are custom to their specific use cases.

Motific is positioned as a solution to address these challenges. It is designed to accelerate AI deployments with minimal investment, supporting the entire GenAI journey from assessment, through experimentation, to production. The product offers the ability to deploy GenAI faster and more effectively, cutting deployment times from months to days with compliance controls for over-usage, overrun spending, and integration of organization-specific data sources. Additionally, Motific provides built-in policy controls that organizations can use or customize in days, allowing companies to provision based on their own internal policies.
