Read MoreHide Full Article

Veeva Systems Inc.’s (VEEV - Free Report) Veeva Vault Quality Suite has recently been adopted by the Center for Breakthrough Medicines (“CBM”) with the aim of modernizing development and manufacturing services for sponsors. It is important to mention here that the Vault Quality Suite includes Veeva Vault Product Surveillance, Veeva Vault QualityDocs and Veeva Vault Validation Management, to name a few.

With respect to CBM, the contract development and manufacturing organization is focused on reducing the lack of capacity, which is stopping patients from accessing critically needed cell and gene therapies. In fact, the company is committed to advancing the delivery and affordability of therapies by providing a complete solution for discovery, development as well as commercialization.

This announcement is likely to provide a further boost to Veeva Systems’ product adoption.
