Veeva and Zinc Ahead Join

I know many of you will be keen to hear about our exciting integration with Veeva and I wanted to give you my personal perspective straight away on the Zinc blog.

As many of you know, we founded Zinc in 2001 to help clients tackle the inefficiencies and challenges of legacy approval systems. I’m proud to say that over the years, we’ve been incredibly successful, and we now serve over 120 clients in 170 countries worldwide and have had the privilege to hire what I consider to be the best team in the industry to support our clients.

Zinc has indeed helped our clients to transform productivity and compliance across the digital supply chain but to deliver on our founding vision of transforming compliance and productivity I have lately concluded that we need to move faster.

So, with our desire to implement our vision with the greatest-possible speed, I and the management team have made a strategic decision to scale our capabilities more quickly, and we’re going to do that by joining forces with Veeva Systems and leveraging complete integration with their end-to-end multi-channel cloud content management and multichannel customer engagement platform.

Veeva and Zinc’s corporate strategies and customer-focused cultures are highly complementary.

Zinc has invested in deep sector knowledge and we pride ourselves on knowing the commercial compliance space better that anyone. Many of our staff have first-hand knowledge of working in compliance within the pharmaceutical industry and we have a gold-standard account management and customer support infrastructure which ensures that our clients actually take delivery of the productivity that they signed up for.

Veeva has deep cloud software and platform DNA and, as I’ve already mentioned, they’ve had huge success providing a wide set of platform offerings to many of the same clients Zinc serves today. Together, I believe we can build better products than either company would be able to separately, bringing enormous benefits to our combined client base.

Our plan is to combine Zinc’s deep domain knowledge and Veeva’s deep life sciences applications and cloud expertise. This means that whilst we will fully support current Zinc MAPS releases through at least 2020, Vault PromoMats will be the product we develop and sell to new customers going forward.

I firmly believe that this is a win-win outcome for Veeva and Zinc customers around the world and I look forward to working with all of you to accelerate delivery of our unchanged vision to transform compliance and productivity in the digital supply chain.
