Case Study: Fairfax County Government cuts FOIA review time and document volume with Logikcull

Fairfax County Government cuts FOIA review 67% with Logikcull

Fairfax County Government, Virginia faced a significant challenge as its lean information security team was overwhelmed by a 200% surge in annual FOIA requests, which reached nearly 20,000. The team, relying on Microsoft Purview for collections, found the output to be sprawling, unorganized, and full of duplicates, making it unsuitable for review and production. This volume consumed the majority of the team's time and threatened to slow down their responsiveness.

The county implemented Logikcull to process its Purview exports. Logikcull's solution, particularly its Inclusive Email Auto Tag feature, deduplicated data and reduced document volume by 67% before review. This allowed the team to turn around 90% of matters in under an hour. Logikcull provided higher accuracy and trust in the data, enabling the small team to manage the record-breaking request surge efficiently. The platform is now used across seven county departments for various use cases beyond FOIA.
