Veeva Insights Episode 1: Veeva CRM Approved Email Classic [VIDEO]

By James Harper /

Welcome to our Veeva Insights Video Series, the series that is designed to help brand teams and creative agencies better understand and leverage the tools available to them on the Veeva CRM approved platform.

Within this first episode, James Harper, Founder and Managing Director of twentyeightb, gives you an insight into Veeva CRM Approved Email, and guides you through using it within the CRM for iPad app, previously known as iRep.

First things first, what is Veeva CRM Approved Email?

Veeva CRM Approved Email enables field teams to send compliant, approved, personalised content to customers and contacts via email. It’s an integral part of the Veeva ecosystem, meaning it’s easy to use and it works with other CRM/CLM tools and content such as detail aids, Veeva engage and vault documents.

Most importantly, Veeva’s usage analytics feed back into the CRM system, providing you with detailed information on your email’s send and open rates. Not only can these analytics be used by you to motivate field teams, increase usage, sales and enhance customer engagement, but they can potentially provide you with invaluable market insight.

Have a watch of the first episode below, or read our key takeaways and find out more about Episode 2 of our Veeva Insights Video Series, coming soon.

Key takeaways:

Selecting a customer and template for your email.

(01:53 – 02:26)

  1. Select your target customer from the list
  2. Using the three dots on the top right, select ‘Send Email’
  3. Select a template from the list provided

As you would expect, Veeva CRM Approved Email offers a highly granular level of control in terms of what email templates and content are available to users. This helps to ensure that only the content that is appropriate and approved by you will be shown to your customer.

Personalising your email content and adding fragments.

(02:27 – 03:44)

  1. Personalise your content within the template
  2. Select the paperclip icon to access fragments
  3. Select the fragments relevant to this email
  4. Re-order fragments within the template

By using Veeva CRM Approved Email you give the user the ability to personalise the content within an email template through drop down lists and free text fields. You can also blacklist words and terms, as well as mandate the completion of a particular field.

Once you have selected the fragments that are relevant to your customer you have the ability to re-order them within the template. The references will then re-number to match, thanks to an automated referencing system.

Previewing and sending your email.

(03:12 – 04:23)

  1. Select the eye icon to preview the email prior to sending
  2. Return to editing by selecting the pencil icon
  3. Send your email using the slider!

From selecting a customer right through to sending an email, Veeva have included intuitive touches to ensure the user feels comfortable with the interface, and comfortable using it to communicate with their customers.

In the next episode:

In Episode 2, we take a look at how a Veeva CRM Approved Email can be launched directly from within an eDetail, plus, how you can use analytics and a MyInsights dashboard to inform and enhance a user’s effectiveness in the field.

Augmented reality – presenting the next level

By James Harper /

In an industry where standing out can be tough, technology that aids the presentation of information can be incredibly fruitful for early adopters. Augmented reality may be a phrase that most are now familiar with, however has it yet found its way into the presentation toolkit of pharma reps?

How could pharma benefit from AR?

We recently collaborated with the team at Veeva on a whitepaper outlining the ways in which augmented reality is currently utilised, but more importantly the potential use cases within Veeva. You can visit the Veeva website to download a copy of the whitepaper or read our top takeaways below.

AR development in Veeva is about to get easier

Veeva is expecting to release later this year a new Augmented Reality extension to its existing iPad based eDetailing tool, leveraging Apple’s latest ARKit release. This aims to make it easier for developers to deliver immersive Augmented Reality experiences for reps and HCPs. This could be the innovation to finally kick outdated PowerPoint presentations into touch.

There are already some excellent use cases

Beyond Veeva there are a number of superb uses of AR in the pharma and marketing industries from which to draw inspiration. Here are just a few:

  • Field engineers see an exploded diagram of failed equipment, enabling them to see through materials and go right to the component that is broken.
  • Information overlay about products on pharmacy shelves, potentially reducing prescribing errors.
  • Magic fiducial markers can bring a movie poster to life when a user points their smartphone at it – playing a trailer for the movie, or perhaps showing a character’s backstory.

The possibilities of AR within Veeva

Applications are limited slightly by the iPad being handheld, not eye-mounted, however there are still some valuable potential use cases:

  • While static case studies can demonstrate melanomas in the abstract, showing disease progression on the arm of someone in the room brings home the reality of the disease.
  • As already demonstrated at the Veeva Summit vision loss is ideal for the “visual” aspects of augmented reality.

If you’re interested in finding out more about the potential uses of AR as an HCP engagement tool, get in touch with our team today. We recently showcased our AR app development skills at the PM Society Digital Awards and would be happy to talk you through ways in which technology could be harnessed to help you create more impactful and effective digital sales aids.

How to make the most of Veeva My Presentations

By James Harper /

Enabling users to build, save and edit custom presentations using pre-approved slides on Veeva CRM for iPad.

The ‘My Presentations’ function on Veeva CRM for iPad (formerly iRep) enables users to quickly and simply create custom presentations within Veeva CRM for iPad by selecting pre-approved slides from configured CLM presentations downloaded to the Veeva CRM for iPad media library.

Once a custom presentation has been created and saved, it becomes available for use with customers in the same way as a standard CLM presentation. Custom presentations also become an integral part of the Veeva CLM system and, if saved against a customer account during a call, will record standard Veeva analytics (slide use and duration). This can be analysed to provide insights at a local/market/regional/global level.

Users can amend and manage saved presentations, at any point, by accessing them via the ‘My Presentations’ window.

The source CLM presentations and the slides available to users in ‘My Presentations’ is configured centrally. Mandatory content slides can be associated to any slide to meet compliance requirements.

Updates to slides can be done centrally and pushed to users and all slides within existing custom presentations will be automatically updated when a device is synchronized.

Veeva My Presentations walk-through

Creating a custom presentation

new presentation

Users can create and name the custom presentation via the + icon in the ‘Manage My Presentations’ window. Users should be given clear guidance on effective naming convention to optimise presentation identification and management in Veeva CRM for iPad.

Accessing/using the slide library

Accessing slides

Slides available to the user for use in ‘My Presentations’ are displayed down the left hand side of the page. They are grouped by presentation and can be filtered by product using the field at the top of the menu.

Each slide is represented by a 20x15mm thumbnail and text description (max 62 characters – optimal display 40 characters or less). So it is important to adopt and implement a clear and logical convention for slide descriptors.

Building a presentation

building a presentation

User must tap a slide to add it to the custom presentation. Selected slides appear in the slide sorter window and are represented by a larger 40x30mm thumbnail and description (max 62 characters). Note: thumbnails and descriptions cannot be different in these two views, so we recommend that they are optimised for display when at their smallest on left hand side menu).

A maximum of 9 slides can be seen in the slide sorter window at any one time. A user can tap and drag slides into preferred order.

Slides that have mandatory slide(s) linked to them are identified with an orange arrow icon top right of the thumbnail. N.B: mandatory slides are not displayed on the slide sorter page but are moved automatically if the linked parent slide position is changed.

Presentation properties

custom presentation properties

The user can access and edit properties for saved custom presentations.

veeva presentation properties

Default properties are available and could potentially add other/custom properties/fields to improve user experience (e.g customer segment). Changes to properties would be implemented by client IT.

Accessing saved presentations

Access saved presentations

User created custom presentations are accessed and displayed via the standard media viewer page on Veeva CRM for iPad. They are automatically grouped by Veeva CRM for iPad under the ‘My Presentations’ directory in the folder hierarchy. For enhanced management presentations, these can be associated to existing or custom Veeva directories and filtered using the folder hierarchy function in Veeva CRM for iPad.

Presentations are represented by a thumbnail with presentation name displayed below. Veeva CRM for iPad uses the thumbnail associated to the first slide in that presentation. Compliance consideration should be given to thumbnails and presentation names as these may be seen by customers whilst the user is launching a presentation via the media viewer page.

We hope you found our guide to My Presentations useful. You can find out more about our approach to Veeva here, or get in touch to discuss your Veeva challenges.

For the administrators and the more technically minded out there we have also included some basic information on technical and configuration requirements, see below…enjoy!

The Nitty Gritty

‘My Presentations’ technical requirements (top level):

  • Target user group have access to current version of Veeva CRM on iPad/Windows Tablet
  • Client Veeva is configured with user profile distinct to target users
  • Target user profile is correctly configured to enable ‘My Presentations’ functionality (n.b also need ensuring privacy settings are in place to prevent custom presentation sharing between users).

Veeva Sunrise UI – key interface updates to look out for

By James Harper /

Early access – take a sneak peek at the highlights and key features from Veeva’s new Sunrise User Interface.

Veeva’s all new Sunrise User Interface is a ground-up rebuild, completely refreshing the look and feel after six years.

All Veeva CRM for iPad users will receive the upgrade automatically as part of the 18R2 release August 2018.

They have focussed on streamlining the user experience, with a smoother workflow that requires fewer clicks to access information and take actions.

At its core is a dashboard providing immediate access to a wide variety of information, without having to dig through several layers of screens to locate it.

The orange bar at the top of the screen – the Sunrise bar from which the UI takes its name – provides quick access to reports. It is worth noting that this will not appear in Media Presentations as existing DSAs do not need to be redesigned to fit into a smaller screen size – the Media Player still takes over the entire screen.

graphs in Veeva sunrise

Across the bottom of the screen are icons to access the usual tasks needed to be completed during the average working day for field force representatives.

A lot of work has been put into maximising the screen real estate available for information and minimising the clutter of components and controls. The account list now spreads right across the screen.

Sunrise contact list

Also, actions can be completed directly from the account list, reducing the number of click throughs needed.

Actions in Sunrise contact list

Filtering of the account list can also be performed directly from the same screen, the search bar has moved and the entire screen width is now utilised.

There is now a combined view of account and call history information, streamlining access to data by holding everything in a single screen:

The calendar view has been reworked to give a high level overview of diary and accounts in the same place:

The accounts screen is now far more streamlined with much more information available at a glance:

And the cards in the calendar are now packed with information to make them far more useful:

My Schedule - Comparison

The Agenda view has also been reworked, again with an emphasis on providing extra information within a single screen.

Re-Design_1

Calendaring is also improved with the creation of appointments being made much easier with a direct view of the dates and times.

Re-Design_2

Certain screens have not been totally redesigned but have been re-skinned for a much cleaner and more current view.

Zinc Maps is no more (almost), long live Veeva Vault PromoMats

By James Harper /

Why you should be signing up for the Veeva Vault PromoMats Agency Certification Program

As many working in the Pharma industry will already be aware, Veeva bought out Zinc Ahead a couple of years back. However, what may have passed you by, was the announcement that Zinc Maps will cease to be available to users as early as 2020. The new tooling for approvals and interacting with CMLR teams will now be Veeva’s own PromoMats. So that leaves just over two years to move everything and everyone from Zinc to Vault PromoMats; easy, right?

One of the key success factors for this migration will be the up-skilling and on-boarding of those agencies currently using Zinc Maps. Veeva are very aware of this and as such are opening up the tool directly to agencies and putting a big push behind their agency certification program. We thought we would share with you why you should be lining up to take the test and provide you with a few highlights as to what you can expect.

Why get certified?

  • There’s no avoiding it! To put it bluntly, Veeva PromoMats is coming and it’s coming in hot. If your current clients use Zinc Maps then at some point they will ask you, along with every other agency working with them, to move to Veeva PromoMats. So why not get ahead of both the game and the competition by signing up and getting yourselves certified?
  • Veeva partners will benefit. As you might expect Veeva are pretty keen to make sure PromoMats gets used properly and lives up to its brand promise, as such they recommend their Pharma partners work only with Certified Agencies as this will lead to fewer errors and fewer review cycles.
  • Manage your resource and workload. Getting your agency certified – rather than waiting for your clients to push the training on you – will mean you can schedule the training to suit you and your current resource levels, allowing your team the space and time to learn about the product and even to become the experts your clients will want to work with.
  • Gain a deeper understanding, sooner. Ultimately, by being certified and having your own access to the product and the deep understanding that will give you, you will be able to work smarter, advise clients better and end up delivering projects under less pressure in terms of both time and cost.

What is in it?

The certification program consists of nine parts:

  1. Welcome & Walkaround – this explains both the course system and provides an overview of the PromoMats review/approval process.
  2. A library of training modules on each of the Veeva PromoMat features in small bitesize chunks. Each module includes both ‘view’ and ‘try’ modes.
  3. New Features (for CPD).
  4. Support links (phone, email).
  5. Exam – must be taken within 45 days of registration. Each user receives two attempts at the overall exam. There are 33 tasks to complete for the exam, with five ‘lives’ per exam attempt, one of which is lost for each incorrectly completed task. After five incorrect answers there is a 24 hour lock out before the next exam attempt can be made. Veeva have introduced an element of gamification with the user being able to win back a ‘life’ by completing one of five bonus tasks.
  6. Best practice articles with guidance on how to implement a PromoMats approval process.
  7. Feedback Form.
  8. Quick Start Guide.
  9. Veeva Vault Help.

Who is it for?

Account Teams, Medical Writers, Project Managers – basically anyone who uploads documents for MLR review.

What is it going to cost?

<10 people = $500 per person per year
11-20 = $450 per person per year
21-30 = $425 per person per year
31-40 = $400 per person per year
>40 = $375 per person per year

Purchases can be made via the Veeva Store.

Developing a web portal
Veeva Knowledge

What to expect from the all new Veeva Brand Portals

By James Harper /

With Veeva’s all new Brand Portals coming as part of their big 17R3 release in December, here’s our sneak peek of the most exciting features that are set to be unveiled.

What is a Veeva Brand Portal?

The Brand Portals will be offered as part of the current Vault licence fee and will support multiple brand levels, making it possible to have an above-brand portal with security rights for different users to the brands below that level.

What does this mean in practice? Ultimately, a single central source of global brand materials that maximises content reuse and compliance visibility. This content can then be accessed via a lower level affiliate Brand Portal where localised and approved versions can be held, accessed and reused.

Add in the ability to customise logos and colour schemes and the new Brand Portal will offer a much more bespoke, brand oriented user experience.

The Portal will also be available for Med Comms and Value Comms (Promomats) vaults, with all Vault content being accessible via these Portals. Users with access to multiple Portals land on a Portal Selector page at login and can select the Portal they want to enter from there. These Portals have the potential to become a one stop shop for many key communications projects such as Value Communications Toolkits. Keeping everything in one place and reducing the admin and compliance burden dangles the tempting potential of significant savings for Pharma. This is especially true when compared to the alternative of building and hosting such tools on various disparate generic platforms such as SharePoint, Joomla and Huddle.

 

Screenshot of Veeva Brand Portals

 

What will a Veeva Brand Portal be like to use?

This time around Veeva have really gone all out to create a bespoke user experience by introducing a number of useful new widgets and tools. Here’s the low-down on the new features.

Carousel

A slide carousel provides quick access to documents in an intuitive fashion.

Filters

A series of top level filters form a quick access toolbar for direct links to relevant materials:

  • Announcements
  • Market Access
  • Presentations
  • References
  • Videos

Highlighted materials

Further sections of the portal home page offer rapid retrieval of relevant information and ability for brand managers to direct representatives and affiliates to the items of interest.

Featured items

These are items specifically curated by the brand team.

Most popular

Automatically generated by analysis of Vault downloads.

Recently added

Automatically generated by date of upload.

Each item has a state and classification with colour coding, e.g. green for “Approved for Distribution”. This allows rapid assembly of a presentation using the most appropriate materials.

Announcements

Brand managers can set announcements on their page, alerting users to updates, perhaps highlighting new or prime content.

Searching

There is a search facility to find materials containing a given text or tag (provided the content is semantic).

Results are presented in a Tile view to allow for rapid identification of the correct asset.
Faceted Search allows for filtering of the results to narrow down to the area required (e.g. CLM Presentations, Market Access Materials, References).

It is also possible to filter by owner, reviewer, country, status and product. So for example you could specify all UK materials for Cholecap which are waiting for approval and have Joe Brown as the reviewer.

Document metrics

Vault now allows capture of metrics on viewing, downloading and rendition downloads of materials from Vault.

  • Total document activities
  • Total downloads
  • Total copies
  • Usage by channel (E.g. each brand accessing common materials – helicopter view)
  • Most popular document types
  • Most popular documents
  • Most active users

These metrics are available in an easy-to-view dashboard.

Referencing in Vault

All references are now linked up – blue highlights in the rendition within Vault connect up to the source reference document that will appear in a popup window. The specific aspect of a reference document will be found, with no need to switch into annotation mode or review one by one in the annotation pane.

It’s also now possible to link internally to a document, in the same manner as using # anchors in HTML pages.

Bookmarks now connect directly to the area in the document where the bookmark was placed. These features enable users to navigate large and unwieldy documents much more quickly and easily.

Are Veeva Brand Portals a positive development?

With these enhancements, Veeva have moved away from Vault being a simple repository with a user interface geared towards more IT-savvy users. It is now possible to create an attractive, intuitive and easy to access portal to pull together content that is accessible to all. Veeva Brand Portals looks set to maximise the benefits of a single source approach to digital asset management and further streamline the creation-approval-distribution cycle – a development that Pharma has been crying out for. We’re sure that the team at twentyeightb won’t be the only ones looking forward to Veeva rolling this out in December.

For more information look out for Veeva’s Brand Portal Public Education Webinar to be held this January 2018. Or if you’re interested in learning more about the services that we offer as Veeva CLM development specialists, feel free to get in touch with our team of experts.

veeva report on pharma systems
Veeva Knowledge

Are unified processes closer to becoming reality?

By James Harper /

A new report from Veeva has shown a huge swing towards unified applications and processes across a large majority of Clinical Operations Leaders. In the latest Veeva Unified Clinical Operations Survey, nearly all of the respondents surveyed indicated that they believed all processes and applications should be unified.

Challenges across the board

The survey, which researched the experience and opinions of 300 different clinical operations professionals, found that a huge 99% of respondents believed that their CTMS ought to be unified. 60% of the professionals surveyed said that faster study execution and improved study quality were the main drivers towards a unified system but it’s also believed that the amount of challenges involved with current legacy CTMS applications is another big driver. In fact nearly all of the respondents reported at least one major challenge with their current setup.

According to the report, the majority of clinical operations professionals now use an average of four applications while more than one third use at least five different applications to manage clinical trials. The majority of challenges faced were found to stem from the difficulty of using several non-unified applications; the top challenges were reported as integrating multiple applications and reporting across applications with other challenges including systems being hard to use, system inability to support collaboration, and difficulties with data being tracked outside of systems.

In contrast, respondents believed a unified system would give them better study visibility, faster study execution, and improved study quality, as well as better management, end-to-end visibility, and easier collection and leverage of data throughout the clinical lifestyle.

The path to unified clinical applications

Veeva has since gone on to demonstrate that this upswing in popular opinion has had a very real effect on decision-making, reporting that five customers – including one top 50 global pharma company – have already implemented Veeva’s new Vault CTMS despite it being only two months since the product’s release.

Vault CTMS, which is the industry’s first app to bring together CTMS, eTMF, eSource, study start-up, and site document exchange on one cloud platform has proven popular with early adherents who say it enables them to unify global data, content, and processes. New customer Lynn Sutton, the vice president of Clinical Operations at inSeption Group, called Vault CTMS an innovation. “Veeva Vault CTMS establishes a new era of innovation in clinical trial management with an easy-to-use, intuitive design,” she said. “We expect to drive new levels of efficiency and productivity by streamlining our clinical processes.”

Another new customer, Edward Leftin from Clinical Information Systems at Ora Inc. agrees, saying, “The ability to bring together CTMS, eTMF, and study start-up on a single, modern cloud platform is a real game-changer. Veeva will enhance our ability to leverage the same business processes and workflows throughout the lifecycle of all our studies.”

With so many industry professionals moving towards unified systems, and early customers providing such positive reports, it looks like more pharma companies will be adopting Veeva over the coming months and years. It now remains to be seen whether the challenge faced by pharma marketing teams and outsourced partners, who will need to adapt to the change of sales aid platform, will be worth the benefits of a unified system overall.

Veeva tips for pharma brand teams

Top 10 tips for brand teams working in Veeva

By James Harper /

So you’ve decided on Veeva for your pharma CLM or digital sales aid solution, but where to begin?

Our digital development consultants have put together 10 quick tips to help you get started and on the path to achieving maximum digital impact!

  1. Don’t go it alone: Find and engage a Veeva approved digital specialist to help you maximise the potential of Veeva for your brand. They can advise you on the best route to launching your digital sales aid, even if the starting point is existing materials. If you already have a great creative agency on board, but they don’t do development or don’t have enough Veeva experience, consider bringing in a specialist Veeva developer, like 28b. Consider the potential risks if the developer you select also creates content and competes with your creative agency – this can lead to conflict and delays.
  2. Put business objectives first: Work with your Veeva experts to evaluate the solution that is right for you and your brand. Whilst natively designed DSAs provide a fully immersive experience, the most engaging content, shortest download times, most detailed analytics and integration into Veeva Vault; Powerpoint conversions, linked PDFs or flat image based detail aids can also be appropriate solutions in certain circumstances.
  3. Get content approved early: Late changes can be accommodated, but will almost certainly disrupt the development flow, which carries the risk of the delivery becoming out of sync with project requirements.
  4. Get your KPIs upfront: Design to the output rather than designing the DSA then trying to analyse the results later.
  5. Involve your field team: There can be resistance from pharma reps, sales managers and HCPs to a new eDetailing solution. Fears can include monitoring, information leakage and friction to the presentation process. Reduce potential friction by engaging rep champions who input into the process and feedback on designs and structure.
  6. Start small and iterate: Build the first DSA with a minimal set of content, roll it out then gather feedback from the reps.
  7. Leverage expertise: Get your brand team together with your creative agency, Veeva approved developers and, if you can, your compliance team, to agree a working framework.
  8. Work the deadline backwards: Start from the fixed immovable deadlines (conferences, update cycles, approval dates, launches) and move back to the current date to ensure everyone has adequate time to deliver. Be prepared to reduce features, content or functionality to hit the deadline. A small, well-crafted DSA will be better than a large one which doesn’t work or gets rejected by your regulatory team.
  9. Smooth the publishing path: Veeva is a corporate tool involving corporate IT, so be prepared for delays in getting the final product moved from your Veeva approved developers‘ test environment onto the corporate production server and available for the field force to use. Find out early what they need and how long it will take, and build this into your project plan.
  10. Make sure your experts collaborate effectively: Make sure your creative agency is happy working closely with your Veeva approved developers. You and your brand will be best served by expert teams who are happy to collaborate rather than teams that are in competition for your attention and budget.

We hope you find our top tips useful and would love to hear from you if you have any further questions or require any assistance with your Veeva CLM project. You can reach us on +44 (0) 1480 877 321 or drop us a line via our contact form.
