IBM Technology Lifecycle Services (TLS) is pleased to announce the availability of IBM Data PreQualification Service, a customizable on-prem data cleansing service designed to help clients prepare data for external sharing while supporting compliance with data security and privacy regulations.

IBM Data PreQualification Service enables clients to securely clean sensitive information without moving data outside their environment. The service is not vendor-specific and supports selected file formats, helping clients apply a consistent data clean-up approach across large and diverse datasets—while maintaining the original file format where possible.

Key highlights include:

• On-prem deployment with a 24x7 self-service option, helping ensure sensitive data remains within the client’s environment.
• Customizable anonymization aligned to the client’s own protection and safety standards to support regulatory and internal compliance requirements.
• Consistent processing across multiple formats and vendors, improving repeatability and governance.
• Access to skilled IBM resources to support tool setup and provide guidance throughout the engagement.
• Supported file formats include:
• MS Office files: .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt, .pptx
• Text files: .txt, .log
• Packaged file formats (containing the above-mentioned file extensions): .zip, .tgz, .tar.gz

Why this matters for sellers and Business Partners

As clients increasingly need to share data with third parties (e.g., partners, service providers, and analytics/AI initiatives), this service helps reduce risk by anonymizing data on-prem before it leaves the organization.
