Veeva Commercial Cloud gaining momentum as 14 life sciences companies adopt Veeva CRM Events Management in just over a year
PLEASANTON, CA – Sept. 13, 2016 – As the life sciences industry shifts to multichannel customer engagement, Veeva Systems (NYSE: VEEV) announced that six of the 20 largest pharmaceutical companies and a total of 14 customers in just over a year have adopted Veeva CRM Events Management, a single solution for end-to-end management of live and virtual events. Veeva CRM Events Management is part of the suite of Veeva Commercial Cloud applications helping life sciences organizations market and sell more effectively.
Companies are rapidly adopting integrated, cloud-based solutions for a holistic approach to customer engagement. Over the next five years, Gartner expects migration to multichannel sales and marketing to strengthen and grow within the life sciences industry. Veeva delivers a suite of cloud applications to give commercial teams a comprehensive view of customer engagement – including face-to-face, online, and events – for greater insight about healthcare professionals.
Veeva CRM Events Management provides one source for enterprise-wide event planning and execution to streamline approval workflows, reduce bottlenecks, and keep events on schedule. Companies have total visibility of speakers, attendees, activities, and expenditures for all global events to reduce event management complexity. As a result, life sciences companies can improve compliance and increase the efficiency of meeting and event execution. In just over a year, Veeva CRM Events Management has quickly established itself as a leading choice for life sciences companies to better orchestrate their customer engagement strategies.
For example, Sanofi Pasteur MSD replaced its local event planning system in Germany with Veeva CRM Events Management in its ongoing drive toward multichannel engagement. “Veeva CRM Events Management aggregates all spend and speaker data in one system that’s integrated with our CRM so that we can measure event success as part of our multichannel strategy,” said Alexandre Gultzgoff, Sanofi Pasteur MSD’s deputy director of IT. “We also now have a consolidated view of all customer interactions to ensure compliance with regional EFPIA and local transparency spend rules in Europe.”
“We began developing Veeva CRM Events Management based on customer demand for a single, end-to-end solution to manage events,” said Paul Shawah, vice president of commercial cloud strategy at Veeva. “It has been a powerful addition to Veeva Commercial Cloud, helping the life sciences industry continuously coordinate and build stronger relationships with their customers.”
