Veeva Systems’ healthcare professional and organization affiliations data offering now spans most major markets and more than 19 million practitioners
PLEASANTON, CA — March 15, 2016 — Veeva Systems today announced the expansion of Veeva OpenData customer reference and affiliations data to 12 Western European countries and Canada. Veeva OpenData is now available in a total of 35 countries, spanning more than 19 million practitioners and representing more than 85% of global healthcare expenditures. With this expansion, life sciences companies can rely on a single data provider in all major markets for more targeted, compliant customer engagement. And because data is priced by the record – with a defined-per country maximum – companies now have fair pricing and a predictable cost of ownership.
“For too long, sales and marketing have been forced to purchase the same data multiple times across teams and departments,” said Jim Cushman, senior vice president and general manager of Veeva OpenData. “It’s our aim to put an end to these exploitative practices. Companies purchase Veeva OpenData just once and get comprehensive customer data, with consistent quality, to use how and where they need it, without restrictions.”
Veeva OpenData provides rigorously verified and continuously updated reference data for each country, drawing upon local market expertise, while also delivering a standard, worldwide approach to data structure, quality, customer service, and pricing. As a result, subscribers have easy access to available healthcare professionals (HCPs), organizations (HCOs), affiliations, compliance, and email data in major life sciences markets worldwide.
With seamless integration to Veeva CRM, high-quality customer data is readily accessible to commercial teams so they can better target customers and tailor engagements – and do so far more efficiently. Subscribers can engage in the right discussions, correctly track and report aggregate spend, and ensure compliant activity with more accurate data.
“Reliable customer data has been notoriously difficult to obtain across major countries, compromising compliance,” said Cushman. “Veeva OpenData assures quality and completeness through stringent validation processes in every one of the 35 countries Veeva serves. Taking this global approach, Veeva OpenData can deliver a consistent standard for data quality and customer service that is unmatched in the industry.”
Data change requests are a standard service included in subscriptions, and most are resolved in less than one business day. Veeva also introduced an industry first with its Veeva OpenData Partner Program, eliminating the hassle of complicated three-party data access agreements. Freed to fully leverage the customer data they purchase, companies can easily share Veeva OpenData with any third party in an extensive partner ecosystem.
As of this month, Veeva OpenData is available in Armenia, Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Denmark, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Luxembourg, Moldova, The Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, United Kingdom, The United States, and Uzbekistan. The company will continue to expand Veeva OpenData to additional countries throughout 2016.
