Veeva Launches Communications Channel
Trending Now: New Web-based channel enables life-sciences companies to interact with healthcare professionals online anytime, anywhere, and on any device.
Veeva Systems has introduced Veeva CRM Engage, a cloud-based application that enables life-sciences organizations to interact with healthcare professionals (HCPs) over the Web and through mobile devices. Engage adds the online channel to Veeva’s Commercial Suite, which also supports face-to-face, phone, and email customer interactions, for unified multichannel communications. With Engage, life-sciences companies can extend the face-to-face visit by facilitating a two-way dialogue online with relevant, interactive content and personalized services such as click-to-chat and schedule a visit.
This system enables online interactions to work in unison with all other channels. It also captures all Web activities in Veeva CRM for further analysis, so companies can continuously adapt digital content to accommodate physician preferences. Engage also increases overall multichannel efficiency by allowing organizations to reuse the same content across multiple channels.
“With Veeva CRM Engage, the Web channel no longer needs to be a disconnected silo," says Paul Shawah, VP of commercial strategy for Veeva. “Veeva’s customers can now easily add new channels as an integrated part of their promotional mix without any business disruption, helping create a differentiated customer experience, faster."
