Cloud-based content management apps for the life sciences industry

Veeva Systems announced Vault Enterprise, a cloud-based suite of content management applications developed specifically for the global life sciences industry.

Now, life sciences companies can replace complex jungles of disparate content management repositories and systems with one integrated application suite from a single provider, on a single technology platform. The modern, cloud-based solution will speed time to market, save money and reduce overall regulatory risk.

Most major life sciences companies maintain over 50 different content repositories across the enterprise, representing an endless array of software versions and infrastructure. These tangled applications are rarely integrated, built on inflexible on-premise/hosted platforms and difficult to use.

Despite spending millions to maintain these applications, companies put themselves at significant regulatory risk because the chain of custody is continually broken across systems, external vendors and partners.

Vault Enterprise is the suite of business process-specific applications running on the cloud-based Vault Platform. Each business application in Vault Enterprise addresses the specific needs of a major business area within a life sciences organization, including:

Research and development. With a submission bill of materials, DIA Reference Model support and submission-ready rendering, Vault R&D helps speed the time to submission by providing a single, easy-to-use place for all researchers, CROs and other collaboration partners to manage the entire content life cycle.

Clinical trials. Vault eTMF provides faster and more organized access to trial documents and reports, while supporting seamless collaboration between sponsors, CROs, sites, investigators and other trial participants. Specific features both ease study and site administration as well as fully support the DIA TMF Reference Model, speed implementations and improve customer success.

Manufacturing and quality. Vault Quality enables the creation, review, approval and distribution of controlled documents across the organization and with external partners. Specific features include watermarking, controlled print, signature manifestation and “Read and Understood” capabilities.

Medical communications. With call center integration and functionality for expiration and periodic review, multi-channel support, global documents and automatic response package generation, Vault MedComms simplifies the coordination of medical communications with a single source of the truth for medical content globally.

Marketing and sales. Vault PromoMats provides an end-to-end solution for the development, approval, distribution, expiration and withdrawal of promotional materials. Specific features include support for global pieces, 2253 form generation, online document and video annotation, and a built-in digital asset library (DAL).
