New Cloud-Based Investigator Portal from Veeva Systems Speeds Clinical Study Start-Up

BOSTON, June 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

                Single source for sponsor, CRO and investigator collaboration

    During the Drug Information Association's (DIA) annual meeting today, Veeva Systems
previewed its new Veeva Vault Investigator Portal. As a companion product to Vault eTMF,
Vault Investigator Portal enables fast collection, sharing and tracking of all
investigator content from a single platform. Veeva has specifically designed its new
Investigator Portal to speed study start-up by simplifying the overall trial document
management process and providing bi-directional, direct access to the eTMF.

    Clinical trials are one of the most complex areas of a life sciences company's
operations, requiring global reach, coordination and tracking across multiple
stakeholders. Investigators and site personnel spend hundreds of hours performing
redundant tasks across multiple sponsors and systems. Most trial technologies hinder
investigator efficiency and breed frustration. Veeva's cloud-based Vault Investigator
Portal orchestrates collaboration with site personnel for more efficient operations.

    "Without a doubt, the back and forth between investigators and the CRO or sponsor is
causing huge delays in study start-up. Most of these documents are still exchanged as
paper, which is slow and adds expense. Sponsors and CROs must find ways to improve the
efficiency while protecting the increasingly important site relationship," said Michael
Burton, director of clinical product strategy at Veeva.

    Veeva's Vault Investigator Portal helps streamline trials and increase efficiency with
features that lessen the workload for sponsors and investigators, including:

       
        - Single source for sponsors, CROs and investigator sites to submit and
          access documents
        - Direct placement of site documents into the eTMF
        - Two-way channel for exchanging documents, including safety alerts and site
          training videos
        - Prioritised to-do lists and associated documents packaged and pushed to
          investigator sites

    "With Vault Investigator Portal, sponsors and CROs will benefit from better document
tracking and placement into the eTMF," concluded Burton. "The ease-of-use and efficiency
for investigators will make working with the sponsor and CRO more attractive, which should
keep investigators coming back for trial after trial."

    Also announced at DIA 2013 today, Veeva adds critical publishing capabilities to Vault
Submissions - the industry's first cloud-based application for managing submissions
content.
