Our client sought a strategic partner to modernize their Veeva application stack across clinical, quality, regulatory, medical and commercial suites through curated releases. This initiation was part of their enterprise modernization strategy to become a top player in treating conditions like plaque psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, rosacea and more.
The Challenge
Addressing the complexities of Veeva CRM modernization and integration for global market adaptability

Our client faced several challenges in modernizing their Veeva CRM and integrating it with enterprise applications. The legacy Veeva CRM system was outdated and lacked the necessary features to support the company's growing needs.
Integrating Veeva CRM with applications such as PromoMats, Marketing Cloud and Health Cloud was essential to create a cohesive commercial ecosystem. They also needed to ensure that the modernization process did not disrupt ongoing operations, and that the new system was adopted seamlessly across multiple markets.
Furthermore, managing the application and integration stack for non-commercial Veeva applications in clinical, quality, regulatory and medical value chains through a DevOps-based factory model was crucial for continuous improvement and operational efficiency.
The Objective
Streamline Veeva CRM modernization for full market adoption and improved operational workflows
