Veeva’s Increasing Adoption

Last quarter, Veeva announced the availability of the full Veeva Compass Suite of commercial data products that will provide customers with a complete view into patient populations and HCP-level insight. Veeva Compass Prescriber and Veeva Compass National are pioneers in the market with the ability to deliver projections for both retail prescriptions and complex procedures, including in-office administered therapies, injections, and infusions.

Veeva Compass data products include Veeva Compass Patient that provides granular, anonymous patient data, including prescriptions, procedures, and diagnoses; Compass Prescriber that includes projected prescriptions and procedures data at a more local level; Compass National that is projected prescriptions and procedures data at the state and national levels helpful for forecasting, market share tracking, and commercial strategy. This is a pioneering offering in the industry as it can deliver innovations in commercial data for life sciences and can handle both retail and complex therapies for more than 4,000 brands.

Recently, Veeva also announced the launch of Veeva Vault Submissions Publishing eLearning, a new regulatory information management (RIM) application that provides users with access to key publishing processes to drive awareness and compliance. The eLearning tool has on-demand, self-paced training resources that help users remain qualified and current with the latest features and techniques for efficient continuous publishing. The tool will help organizations streamline employee education and eliminate the need to develop custom in-person training programs.

Veeva’s Transition to Its Own Platform

Meanwhile, Veeva’s transition to its own platform continues to see strong adoption. Last quarter, GSK became one of the first top biopharma companies to migrate to Veeva Vault CRM. Bayer also joined the league by becoming among the first top 20 biopharmas to move to Veeva Vault CRM worldwide. Veeva believes that the migration to Vault CRM will help better leverage customer reference data for greater efficiency and continued innovation. Vault CRM is expected to be released for general availability in April 2024 and will then become the go-forward product for all new customers. The current Veeva CRM solution built on the Salesforce platform will be supported until September 2030.
