Problem

Cummins needed to classify unstructured records and meet retention requirements across jurisdictions. Employees manually labeled important files and moved them into a repository that restricted collaboration.

Approach

With support from Infotechtion, Cummins adopted Microsoft Purview for information governance. It used machine learning to automate part of its records schedule and applied persistent sensitivity labels so employees could continue editing protected documents.

Results

10% to 15%share of the global record schedule automated using machine learning, per MicrosoftCompany's own claim[1]

Takeaway

Cummins reported the share of its records schedule automated with machine learning. It did not quantify labor savings from that automation.
