PLEASANTON, CA – Dec. 12, 2016 – Veeva Systems (NYSE:VEEV) today announced that Advanced Health Media (AHM), HealthSTAR Communications, MedForce, Physicians World, and Vector Health are leveraging the power of Veeva CRM Events Management to offer life sciences customers a full, end-to-end solution for enterprise-wide planning and execution of live and virtual events.

Now companies can streamline approval workflows, reduce bottlenecks, and stay on schedule from end-to-end, with total visibility of speakers, attendees, activities, and expenditures.
