Today, we're excited to announce that Coval has been officially designated as a Cisco® Solution Partner, marking a pivotal moment in enterprise conversational AI. This partnership combines Coval's purpose-built evaluation platform with Cisco's enterprise-grade AI solutions to solve a critical challenge: bringing systematic reliability to voice AI at scale.

Cisco recently announced the Webex AI Agent, which can answer inquiries and fulfil intents across a wide range of channels – all while delivering personalized, conversational experiences. This human-like interaction is powered by sophisticated automation and orchestration, enabling the design of connected journeys that enhance the user experience.

Ensuring battle-tested reliability and scalability is essential when adopting any new AI tool - and that’s exactly where Coval delivers.

90% of enterprise voice AI projects fail. Here's how to join the 10%.

Fortune 100 banks. Global healthcare providers. Major retailers. They all discovered the same painful truth: traditional testing tools weren't built for voice AI.

Today, Coval and Cisco are changing that game entirely.

The $100M Problem Nobody Talks About

Your voice AI handles millions of customer calls. One bad deployment can cost:

• $10M+ in lost revenue per day
• 30% drop in customer satisfaction scores
• 6-month delays in digital transformation

Yet most enterprises still test voice AI like it's 2010—manual scripts, text-based tools, and crossed fingers.

Meet Coval: Voice AI Testing That Scales

As Cisco's newest Solution Partner, Coval brings three game-changers to enterprise voice AI:

1. Test Like Your Customers Talk

• Thousands of concurrent voice conversations
• Real accents, interruptions, and background noise
• Industry-specific personas (angry patient, confused customer, technical buyer)

2. Clear, no nonsense vendor comparison

• Side-by-side vendor evaluation using identical metrics
• Standardized performance benchmarks across providers

3. Ship Fast Without Breaking Things

• Up to 75% faster deployment and iterations of your agents
• Automated regression testing across multiple deployments at once
• CI/CD integration that actually works

The Cisco Advantage: Enterprise-Grade Everything

This isn't just another partnership. It's enterprise infrastructure that delivers:

✓ Security: Cisco's enterprise-grade compliance (HIPAA, SOC2 [in progress], GDPR [in progress])
✓ Scale: Global infrastructure handling billions of calls
✓ Support: 24/7 enterprise SLAs you can count on
