This new application brings together learning management and clinical operations for integrated and automated training and real-time inspection readiness.

This application builds upon Veeva Systems’ expertise in working with more than 450 companies utilizing Veeva Vault Clinical Suite applications and learnings from hundreds of Veeva Vault Training implementations.
