Cummins chose Microsoft Purview to automate data classification and sensitivity labeling, which is essential for enforcing data sensitivity levels and protections. The company needed a solution that could help manage diverse regulations and sensitive data while preparing for the adoption of generative AI. They found Microsoft Purview to be more advanced and flexible compared to other third-party tools they evaluated.

Cummins uses Microsoft Purview Data Lifecycle Management to implement customized retention policies for every document in its Microsoft environment. This approach helps them automate the update of data lifecycles, reducing the amount of outdated files and saving on storage costs. By automating data classification, they can efficiently manage tens of millions of files while ensuring compliance with legal requirements.

Since implementing Microsoft Purview, Cummins has automated data classification and sensitivity labeling for millions of files, enhancing data security and compliance. They have reduced storage costs by eliminating outdated records and improved collaboration by allowing employees to co-author documents while maintaining data governance. Additionally, the integration of Purview has streamlined their approach to managing sensitive data across the entire Microsoft 365 environment.
