Factors to Note

Veeva Systems unique product portfolio, comprising Veeva Vault, Veeva CRM, Veeva Network and Veeva OpenData, might have driven the fiscal second-quarter performance.

The company’s first cloud-based content management system, built specifically for life sciences — Veeva Vault — is likely to have added new Vault customers in the quarter to be reported.

Strength across each Vault application area, including continued momentum in more established products and early success for new products, may have favored the to-be-reported quarter’s performance.

In April 2021, Veeva Systems announced the availability of the Veeva Quality Content Reference Model to advance quality transformation efforts and drive further standardization in quality management.
