PLEASANTON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As life sciences companies continue their transition from legacy on-premises and horizontal cloud software to industry-specific cloud applications, Veeva Systems (NYSE:VEEV) is strengthening its position as a fast-growing, strategic vendor in the industry across its most critical functions.

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.
“There is a significant shift occurring in the industry to cloud applications that streamline and unify business processes,” said Paul Shawah, vice president of product marketing at Veeva. “Our focus on industry-specific applications is helping our customers transform their R&D, commercial, and medical operations to support faster product launches and quickly adopt new business models.

Blast from the past? Comcast 2011 agreement with Verizon lives on, in one real sense
Tom Paine
Follow @phillytechnews
Subscribe in a readerI think an old Google Alert brought this to my attention (See actual webpage) .
My first though was to wonder if this was something new, or left over from the old JMA (Joint Marketing Agreement) that came with Comcast and other cable partners' $3.6 billion spectrum sale to Verizon in 2011. It was the latter, Comcast confirmed.
Under the JMA, the plan was that Verizon would resell Comcast cable services (which in some areas competed directly with Verizon's FiOS), and Comcast would resell Verizon's wireless services. Its unlikely much was sold in either direction; Comcast says it has never released any numbers. And a related joint product development effort also fizzled out.
The webpage is certainly functioning, though I haven't determined yet whether it could actually lead to a transaction.
Of course, Comcast has more recently activated its MVNO (mobile virtual network operator) rights with Verizon per the 2011 agreement and created a new wireless business unit, for whatever it may be planning in that sphere. Comments made this week by a Comcast executive suggest the company is still evaluating its options.
Many analysts have expected it to try some combination utilizing MVNO (it can also use Sprint) and its own enormous WiFi network, though my understanding is getting these to work in synch with each other is still difficult technologically.
Also, separately, Comcast indicated that its not prepared to comment yet on progress to date on its arrangement with Amazon allowing it (Amazon) to resell Comcast cable services directly to consumers, announced in March. The Amazon/Comcast is seen as an effort to try a different customer service model (Amazon's).

Roundup: NJ’s Privately-Held Tech Companies Talk About Their Results: SHI and iCIMS

SHI International: SHI International Corp. (Somerset), which calls itself one of North America’s 15 largest IT solution providers, reported a record $3.3 billion in revenue for the first half of 2016 — a 12 percent increase year over year. The company said that its close partnerships with legacy providers and emerging partners contributed to the growth, despite new challenges faced by the IT channel.
Addressing those hurdles, SHI President and CEO Thai Lee noted that large mergers, acquisitions and disruptive technologies continue to change the IT landscape, and that cloud, data-center and hybrid solutions have shifted how organizations support their IT environments.
“Born-in-the-cloud technologies and advanced data-center solutions from dozens of SHI’s emerging partners have driven new growth and replaced traditional business in the IT marketplace,” said Lee in a press release.
“In the past 12 months, SHI recognized over $400 million in revenue from emerging partners, the vast majority of which are cloud-based. Our relationships with those providers and our ability to help customers understand, evaluate, and deploy a growing number of advanced solutions have been key to our continued growth,” she said.
“SHI is a #1 partner for 10 of the industry’s largest IT providers, more than double the number in 2009, and we’ve become a strong #2 partner to dozens of other major industry leaders,” she added.
Microsoft’s legacy and cloud-based technologies drove considerable growth in the first half of 2016, the company statement said, as did a broad portfolio of security solutions and data-center software and storage components.
To support its partners and clients alike, SHI continued adding to its sales and support teams, hiring 1,000 employees in the last 12 months. Over the same time frame, SHI has also doubled the size of its advanced-solutions teams to deliver additional support to customers’ data-center transformation initiatives.

iCIMS: Matawan-based iCIMS Inc. announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016, saying that its revenue increased 45 percent compared with the same period in 2015. This marked the 11th straight quarter of revenue growth greater than 30 percent.
“Our results have exceeded our expectations and underscore two key trends: companies continue to recognize the importance of recruiting great people, and they are increasingly choosing best-to-market software to help them hire top talent,” stated Colin Day, chairman and CEO of iCIMS, Inc., in a release.
According to the release, some key highlights for the first half of 2016 are as follows:
- iCIMS continued to expand its market share by winning customers of every size and in every industry. Some of the new customers added during the second quarter include Massage Envy, ExpressJet Airlines, City Gear, Group 1 Automotive, and Southeastern Freight Lines, among many others.
- iCIMS’ Hiring Trends Report has become a leading source of insight into the U.S. economy, providing hiring companies and labor economists with useful information about labor trends in the United States.
- There was the launch of the first phase of UNIFi, the iCIMS developer platform that enables other developers to build and integrate applications that work seamlessly with the iCIMS Talent Acquisition Suite of software. UNIFi immediately became the largest ecosystem of third party products in talent acquisition, with more than 100 add-on products available to iCIMS customers on the first day of availability.
