October 13, 2016 | Veeva Systems today introduced Veeva Vault EDC and Veeva Vault eSource, the first applications for clinical data management on a single cloud platform. Together with Vault CTMS, Vault eTMF, and Vault Study Startup, Veeva is expanding the Veeva Vault Clinical Suite, the industry’s only suite of unified cloud applications to streamline clinical operations and data management, from study start-up to archive. 

Vault EDC will be a modern and adaptive cloud application and purpose-built for trial processes to speed critical workflows and enable real-time feedback. It will provide an intuitive, consumer-friendly experience for sites, sponsors, and CROs to quickly and easily access data, and be a single point of focus for clinical data and facilitate all trial designs, from the simplest to the most complex.

Customers can deploy Vault EDC as a standalone application or integrate electronic source data (eSource) with Vault eSource to record patient data directly into an easy-to-use mobile application. This will not only eliminate the need to manually transcribe patient data into an EDC system – which can be days or weeks after the patient visit – but will also cut costly and time-consuming onsite source data verification by clinical monitors.

Vault EDC and Vault eSource will be built upon an open cloud architecture that allows them to be used with other third-party clinical systems. When used together, Veeva will offer the first and only integrated solution on a single platform to ensure high quality data at the point of entry in eSource all the way through to the EDC system, helping streamline clinical processes and speed product time-to-market.

Today’s news signals Veeva’s focus and investment in this important market to manage clinical data more efficiently and effectively. The expense impact of this new initiative was reflected in the company’s guidance for fiscal year 2017.

Veeva Systems has also expanded its leadership team across product management and cloud software development to accelerate innovation and customer success in clinical operations and data management. Veeva is bringing together established industry experts with proven cloud innovators to continue to deliver clinical applications that will unify end-to-end processes and help speed trials. The company added 3 positions to Veeva Vault EDC,  and one position each to Veeva Vault CTMS and Veeva Vault Clinical.
