Zoom video communications to be embedded in Veeva CRM Engage
applications for easy and compliant online meetings and virtual events
PLEASANTON, Cailf.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Veeva
Systems (NYSE:VEEV) today announced that Zoom
video and web conferencing capabilities will be embedded in Veeva CRM
Engage applications to enable seamless digital engagement between life
sciences companies and healthcare professionals (HCPs). Veeva continues
to bring together best-in-class cloud and digital technologies so that
the life sciences industry can go-to-market with their products more
efficiently and effectively.
There are greater expectations among physicians for information and
interactions to be online and on-demand through the digital channels and
mobile devices they prefer. For life sciences companies, digital can
expand access and reach to more HCPs and get accurate information to the
right person with greater speed, ultimately creating more valuable
interactions. However, technology barriers coupled with regulatory
requirements have made the shift to digital engagement slow and
difficult.
For the first time, life sciences companies can have a single,
integrated solution for easy and compliant video and web conferencing
for online meetings through Veeva
CRM Engage Meeting, as well as for virtual events with Veeva
CRM Engage Webinar. Both applications are integrated with Veeva
CRM for reps to create a seamless communications experience and
share approved content with HCPs compliantly.
“Zoom’s mission is to make video communications frictionless so that
real-time collaboration is simple and reliable,” said Eric S. Yuan,
founder and CEO of Zoom. “Veeva is a cloud pioneer that has eliminated
many technology barriers in the life sciences industry. Their use of the
Zoom platform will be a powerful combination in delivering a
leading-edge digital experience.”
“Veeva is opening up online engagement possibilities for life sciences
companies and HCPs to collaborate and deliver better patient outcomes,”
said Arno Sosna, general manager of Veeva CRM. “Zoom has changed
communications in the cloud and alongside Veeva, customers can take
advantage of new digital channels without the risk.”
Embedding Zoom enables Veeva to integrate video and web conferencing
capabilities natively into Veeva CRM Engage applications. Zoom delivers
best-in-class video performance even in low-bandwidth environments,
providing customers and HCPs the quality and reliability they need to
interact and collaborate online.
More than 200 customers are using Veeva CRM to seamlessly orchestrate
customer interactions and deliver a personalized experience to HCPs
across multiple communication channels, including in-person and digital.

Vault integration with Microsoft Office Online to deliver real-time,

Engage Webinar is planned for availability in Spring 2017.
