What if data quality could finally become a real team effort?

In every company, there's that familiar scene:
we open a dashboard in a meeting, talk about the same indicator... and realize that we don't have the same figures.

The Citizen Services department speaks of 1.2 million active users. The Finance Department, on the other hand, has 1.4 million. And the CIO wonders how two different figures can come from the same systems.

Everyone works with the same data - in theory.
But between the files circulating by e-mail, the duplicated pipelines and the dashboards recreated on a daily basis, the reality is quite different.

Data has become strategic.
But its management often remains chaotic.
And until business and IT move forward together, no "single truth" will last longer than a committee meeting.

Reconnecting teams around common data

The real challenge today is no longer collecting data.
It's about understanding it, making it reliable and improving it together.

Businesses need visibility and autonomy.
Data teams want structure and governance.
And yet, the two rarely meet in the right place:

• rules change from one department to another,
• indicators multiply,
• and everyone ends up recreating their own version of reality.

This is where governance fails: not for lack of tools, but for lack of a collaborative framework.

Collaborative Spaces: a clear framework for data collaboration

Tale of Data's Collaborative Spaces finally reconcile business and data. They create dedicated work environments for each subject: finance, compliance, HR, marketing, operations...

In each space, everything is brought together:

• data sources,
• no-code quality rules,
• processing pipelines,
• shared, certified dashboards.

Every team member knows where to look, what to modify and with whom to collaborate.

Roles are clear (administrator, editor, reader), and every action is logged thanks to the complete lineage integrated into the platform.

No more guessing where the data comes from or which report uses it: everything is visible, documented and fluid.

What collaboration means in concrete terms

Working in a collaborative space means getting away from constant confusion.
It means replacing debates about numbers with discussions about actions.

Teams :

• share the same sources,
• apply the same rules,
• build the same indicators.

Governance is no longer a constraint, but a common language.
Projects progress faster, errors are reduced, and trust is restored.

Above all, data quality ceases to be a matter for experts: it becomes a collective habit, anchored in daily life.

Data Quality in everyday life

Most governance approaches have failed because they tried to centralize everything.
But data is not a fixed block: it evolves, feeds off the ground, and is enriched by usage.

Collaborative Spaces take the opposite approach.
They enable the construction of truths by subject, within simple, traceable frameworks that are naturally adopted by teams.
It's a more agile, more human and, above all, more realistic approach.

Because, at the end of the day, data quality doesn't depend on a tool.
It depends on the ability of teams to work together on a common basis.
