What Datadock does

Datadock is a French non-profit shared-service platform operated by GIE D²OF (Groupement d'Intérêt Économique), a not-for-profit economic interest grouping registered in Paris (RCS Paris 824 653 257) and headquartered at 128 rue la Boétie, 75008 Paris. Founded in 2016 following the 2015 French quality law, it provides a web-based compliance management tool used by French professional training organizations (organismes de formation) to complete the mandatory referencing process under France's Qualiopi certification framework and the 2023 training reform decree. Training organizations must be referenced through an approved platform such as Datadock to access public and professional training fund disbursements. The organization is co-governed by two French training fund operators, OPCAIM and UNIFORMATION, with Stéphanie Lagalle-Baranes (Director General of OPCAIM) serving as Publication Director and Thierry Dez (Director General of UNIFORMATION) serving as Editor-in-Chief.

The core offering consists of the Datadock web application (app.data-dock.fr) for managing documentation and compliance submissions, paired with the Outil d'aide au référencement that assists organizations through the referencing process. The platform is supported by the official Manuel d'interprétation du Référentiel, which establishes the criteria for quality control of training actions; the latest 2026 edition was published in March 2025 and contains 6 chapters with 19 criteria. Underlying infrastructure is hosted by ATOS Worldline in Courbevoie. The technology is purpose-built compliance/reference management software with no disclosed AI/ML capabilities, no public API, and no mobile applications. The organization holds CNIL declaration 2061649 for data protection compliance.

Datadock operates under a non-commercial, publicly mandated model with no published pricing, no subscription fees, and no commercial go-to-market. Its operations are funded through French national and professional training funding mechanisms rather than direct user fees. With 11 employees, the organization serves as the de facto national reference tool for training organization quality referencing in France, with all French professional training organizations subject to the national quality certification requirement effectively forming its user base. The platform is distributed solely through self-serve web access, with no commercial sales motion.
