Veeva Systems, Inc. Streamlines Regulatory And Quality Operations At ICON

Leading global biopharma outsourcing company adopts Veeva Vault Study Startup following its success with Veeva Vault eTMF

BARCELONA, Spain--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today at the Veeva R&D Summit, to an audience of more than 600 industry leaders, Veeva Systems (NYSE:VEEV) today announced that ICON, a global provider of drug development solutions and services, is streamlining its regulatory and quality operations with Veeva Vault applications to increase transparency and enable greater collaboration with sponsors.

“Veeva Vault applications enable ICON to more easily collaborate with sponsors on all documents throughout product development lifecycles and streamline communications to shorten delivery timeframes”

Veeva Vault provides ICON an integrated suite of best-in-class applications that unify content and data for improved quality and compliance across their global operations. Veeva Vault Submissions delivers a single, authoritative source for ICON and their affiliates and partners to speed the entire regulatory submission preparation process – from authoring to assembly. Separately, Veeva Vault QualityDocs improves GxP document management for greater compliance, improved quality, and reduced operational overhead.

Communication, visibility, and process inefficiency are common challenges between CROs and sponsors when data and content are managed in multiple, disconnected systems. This hinders collaboration and often creates duplicate work and content among teams, introducing compliance risks that can delay time to market.

With Veeva Vault at the heart of its regulatory and quality operations, ICON has a single source of truth for regulatory information and key quality policies and procedures that global stakeholders can share in real time. Now ICON can provide its sponsors and partners with full visibility into regulatory and quality content for increased control and collaboration.

“Veeva Vault applications enable ICON to more easily collaborate with sponsors on all documents throughout product development lifecycles and streamline communications to shorten delivery timeframes,” said Quintin van Wyk, vice president, safety, regulatory, and writing services for ICON.

Faster, more efficient global submissions process

Vault Submissions will be part of ICON’s medical writing and regulatory services as well as submissions management offering to globalize their processes and make it easier to build and track submissions content through approvals. Submission preparations are fast and efficient, while meeting global compliance requirements.

Improved audit readiness in quality

ICON is leveraging Vault QualityDocs to enable efficient routine audits for its quality assurance department. The solution provides real-time access to information, reducing compliance risk and improving quality processes. In addition, ICON is now able to expand its service offerings, including support for remote audits – a service clients are requesting more often.

“Veeva Vault is a game-changer for many companies looking to unify processes in regulatory, quality, clinical, and beyond,” said Jennifer Goldsmith, senior vice president of Veeva Vault. “As the level of activity between sponsors and contract services organizations continues to increase, customers such as ICON will be able to provide greater visibility, efficiency, and compliance for their sponsors.”

In other news today, Veeva announced broad industry adoption of its Veeva Vault Quality applications.
