PLEASANTON, CA - January 4, 2011 - The last 12 months marked a banner year for life sciences CRM leader, Veeva Systems, recently recognized on IDC Health Insight's Vendor Watch List for 2011.
"Today, the fastest-growing vendor in the life sciences sales and marketing space is Veeva Systems, which has doubled its customer base in just the last year," said Eric Newmark, research manager at IDC Health Insights. "Such dramatic growth is a testament to Veeva's ability to successfully deliver cloud computing technology that meets the specific needs of today's life sciences companies."
