Increased complexity in life sciences – from global stakeholder ecosystems to regulatory requirements – is driving organizations to streamline operations to be more efficient and agile. This is in an effort to accelerate innovation and get products to market faster and more effectively on a global scale. Organizations are implementing new cloud approaches to improve collaboration and provide smarter ways of working.

As a result, the industry is increasingly relying on Veeva’s applications to streamline their global business operations, with 35 of the top 50 pharmaceutical companies using Veeva Vault to unify their processes and content on a single platform in the areas of commercial, clinical, regulatory, quality and medical.2 Customers are turning to Veeva to help them improve overall business agility, compliance, and risk mitigation.

Over the next five years, Gartner expects migration to multichannel marketing to strengthen and grow within pharma and recognized Veeva as one of only two vendors to offer complete CRM products, support, and services across most of the globe.3 Veeva is in the market share leadership position of the pharma CRM vendor landscape.4

According to IDC Health Insights, Veeva’s continued momentum in the sales and marketing space has strengthened its leadership in the industry.5 “Veeva has leveraged its strong position in the life science CRM space to provide an optimized omni-channel solution for its customers, with access to its cloud-based content management, master data management, and system-wide customer data,” according to the report.

In R&D, Vault Clinical, Vault RIM, and Vault Quality are helping companies streamline their end-to-end clinical trial processes, respond faster to business changes and health authority requests, and integrate their quality processes and content. Within commercial operations, Veeva Commercial Cloud is improving how life sciences companies bring together customer data, compliant content, and multichannel engagement to market and sell more effectively. While Veeva Medical Solutions help organizations discover, target, and engage the right opinion leaders.
