BARCELONA, Spain--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Veeva Systems (NYSE:VEEV) today announced that Advanced Health Media (AHM), HealthSTAR Communications, MedForce, Physicians World, and Vector Health are leveraging the power of Veeva CRM Events Management to offer life sciences customers a full, end-to-end solution for enterprise-wide planning and execution of live and virtual events. Veeva CRM Events Management will enable these partners to provide integrated solutions to customers in the US marketplace.
Organizing industry events is complicated and involves a complex ecosystem of technologies for speaker management, logistics services, and compliance. Nearly three-quarters (72%) of organizations report that the use of disparate systems is their biggest challenge in events management.1
To eliminate this burden, leading events service providers are integrating and certifying their offerings with Veeva CRM Events Management, a single solution to plan and execute all events across the enterprise. Now companies can streamline approval workflows, reduce bottlenecks, and stay on schedule from end-to-end, with total visibility of speakers, attendees, activities, and expenditures.
“With so many moving parts in events management, we want to make it easier for customers to efficiently plan, manage, and track events,” said Andrew Fuchs, director of commercial strategy at Veeva. “Events partners are working with us to deliver a complete and holistic approach for event planning with Veeva CRM Events Management as the technology foundation.”
