Veeva Systems Inc. (VEEV - Free Report) recently announced two new Veeva Crossix solutions — Veeva CrossixHCP Trigger Data and Veeva Crossix Omnichannel Boost. These latest products are aimed at aiding life sciences companies in executing and optimizing omnichannel marketing campaigns.

The Veeva CrossixHCP Trigger Data is expected to connect consumers' engagement with a brand's website to their healthcare professional (HCP) visits. On the other hand, Veeva Crossix Omnichannel Boost will likely provide a holistic view of HCP and patient engagement across the field and promotional channels.

The latest launches are expected to provide a significant boost to the Veeva Commercial Cloud product line of its Life Sciences segment.

Significance of the Launches

Veeva Systems believes that the marketing and field teams will now be able to leverage these new offerings for more comprehensive, accurate and actionable insights into patient and HCP touchpoints.

Per management, with the continuation of patients and HCPs accessing health information across diverse mediums, it is crucial for marketers to have a holistic marketing strategy. Management feels that by integrating data from field activities, and direct-to-consumer and HCP campaigns, marketers will gain real-time insights into omnichannel performance. This, in turn, will likely aid in ultimately delivering vital information to customers.

Per a report by Marketsandresearch.biz, the global clinical data management system market was estimated to be $1574.8 million in 2021 and is projected to reach $4294.1 million by 2028 at a CAGR of 15.4%.
