Veeva CRM Engage Webinar Makes Virtual Events Easy and Compliant for Life Sciences

Industry’s first purpose-built application for online events opens an important digital channel to engage with healthcare professionals

MADRID–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Today at Veeva European Commercial & Medical Summit, one of the largest life sciences events for commercial and medical affairs professionals in Europe, Veeva Systems (NYSE:VEEV) announced the availability of Veeva CRM Engage Webinar, the first purpose-built application to manage compliant virtual events in the life sciences industry. Veeva CRM Engage Webinar helps companies easily manage online events without compliance risk. Now marketing and medical affairs teams can open up an important digital channel to increase their reach to healthcare professionals (HCPs) and meet physicians’ growing expectations for online engagement.

Nearly all physicians (96%) say they would benefit from attending events online.¹ Disparate event management systems, technology limitations, and regulatory challenges make it difficult for companies to conduct virtual events, despite the growing desire among HCPs to engage digitally with life sciences companies.

Veeva CRM Engage Webinar enables the life sciences industry to more effectively and efficiently connect with HCPs through virtual events. The application is built on Veeva CRM Events Management for a single, integrated solution to manage both physical and online events, from inviting attendees to post-event follow-up.

Also, integration with Veeva Vault ensures speakers only share approved compliant content, while Veeva CRM validates attendee credentials and gives an entire organization full visibility into interactions with HCPs across multiple channels. Now companies can deliver a seamless event experience and give HCPs faster, easier access to the content they need.

“Online events are one of the most effective and efficient ways for marketing and medical affairs teams to reach more HCPs through the channels and mobile devices they prefer,” said Andy Fuchs, senior director of commercial strategy at Veeva. “With Veeva CRM Engage Webinar, the life sciences industry finally has a purpose-built application for virtual events that is simple to use and compliant.”

The Veeva CRM Engage family of products includes Veeva CRM Engage Webinar, Veeva CRM Engage Meeting to make compliant online meetings easier and more convenient, and Veeva CRM Engage for Portals to provide HCPs with self-service online access from any device.

To learn more, register for the Veeva CRM Events Management Webinar on Thursday, 14 December at 6:00 p.m. UK time.
