Chapter 1: Introduction
HOW THIS BOOK IS ORGANIZED
This book is organized in two chapters:

Chapter 2: What is VBioPharma? This chapter explains what the application is, the
philosophy and approach utilized in building the application and a description of the
typical user groups for which the application is designed.

Chapter 3: The VBioPharma Application. This chapter describes how the


functionality of the VBioPharma application works. Modules and functionality are
limited to that which is not part of the base Salesforce platform.

WHO SHOULD READ THIS BOOK


This book is intended for system administrators, sales operations, system integrators and others
responsible for configuring, managing and maintaining a VBioPharma implementation.

RECOMMENDED STUDY AND TRAINING


Salesforce offers instructor-led, self-paced web based and custom-tailored training solutions
designed to fit every organizations budget, time and training requirements. You can access
Salesforces self-paced, web-based training by clicking on the Help link in the upper-right corner
of the VBioPharma application and then click on the Training tab.
There are a series of pre-defined curriculums available for support and administrator personnel
who will be configuring, managing and maintaining the Salesforce platform. As Veeva Systems
has created functionality specific to the pharmaceutical and biotech industries, the
Salesforce.coms basic sales automation functionality, such as leads and opportunity
management, is not applicable and the training courses can be disregarded. However, the
customization, security, administration and reporting aspects of Salesforce.coms training are of
significant value. It is strongly recommended that users of the VBioPharma application attend
either an instructor-led training class or complete, at a minimum, the following online classes
prior to reading this book:

Salesforce Fundamentals
Admin Fundamentals: Setup
Admin Fundamentals: Customize
Reporting Fundamentals
Dashboard Mechanics
Admin Workshop

Chapter 2: What is VBioPharma?


VBioPharma is a CRM application built on the Salesforce platform, designed specifically for the
pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. VBioPharma includes a data model, application
logic and tailored user interface controls to support the pharmaceutical and biotechnology
industries while leveraging much of the standard Salesforce platform functionality, reporting,
configuration, and maintenance capabilities.

OUR PHILOSOPHY
At Veeva Systems, the philosophy and approach to designing and developing software follows
three basic principles:

Simplicity we have followed Salesforce.coms metaphors when designing and


building our application. This includes minimizing navigation and reducing screen
clutter.

Ease of Use we have continued to follow and expand on Salesforce.coms


philosophy of ease of use. We designed our user interface to be easy to figure out
what the next steps are without relying on books or training wherever possible. In
addition, Veeva Systems is pleased to present the next-generation of CRM
application that focus on end-user adoption and ease of use through the utilization
of visual intelligence. Our product managers and engineers at Veeva Systems have
designed usability controls wherever possible to present large sets of data through
simple visual representations. Examples of these visual intelligence usability
controls include controls such as the Sphere of Influence, Product Metrics, Office
Hours and Mapping features. A picture is worth a thousand words.

Performance We have also designed our application with speed and performance
in mind. We optimize and engineer our product to have the fastest response times
possible.

VBioPharma Functionality Guide

Primary Care Sales Representatives


Primary Care Sales Representatives typically focus on General Practioners, Primary Care
Physicians and institutions. The sales process for Primary Care Reps revolves around visiting an
average of eight physicians per day, discussing their products, and leaving behind product
samples and promotional materials. Primary Care reps play a role similar to information
brokers to their physicians, providing a valuable service to educate physicians and keep them
abreast of the latest information with respect to their segment of the healthcare market.
VBioPharma can easily support the following business processes for Primary Care Sales
Representatives:

Robust Account Profiling, including professionals, hospitals, departments and clinics


Relationship modeling
Tracking and mapping customer influence levels and product awareness
Call Scheduling and Time Management
Call Reporting with Expense capture and Follow-up Activities
Sample Inventory Management
Medical Events Management

Specialty Sales Representatives


Specialty Sales Representatives typically focus on physicians of certain specialties and on
institutions. Specialty Sales Representatives do not leave product samples. The sales process
for Specialty Reps is similar to that of a Primary/Retail rep. However, Specialty Sales
Representatives are more specialized in their fields and typically are more clinically focused in
their interactions with the physician specialists. VBioPharma can easily support the following
business processes for Specialty Sales Representatives:

Robust Account Profiling, including professionals, hospitals, departments and clinics


Relationship modeling
Tracking and mapping customer influence levels and product awareness
Account Planning
Call Scheduling and Time Management
Call Reporting with Expense capture and Follow-up Activities
Material Orders
Medical Events Management

Managed Markets Account Executives


Managed Markets Account Executives focus on a different segment of the healthcare industry.
These Account Execs (or NAMs, RAMS, etc.) call on Managed Care Organizations, VAs,
Government Accounts, Employers, Trade partners, etc., and have a different sales process than
Specialty Sales Representatives. Below is a list of typical business processes for Managed
Markets that VBioPharma can support:

Both Contact and Account support with Affiliations


In-depth Managed Care Plan profile data including financial, network and
membership metrics
Strategic Product Planning and Account Planning
In-depth Meeting Briefs with detailed product discussions and reprint tracking
Activity measurement across products, plans and accounts

Medical Scientific Liaisons


Medical Scientific Liaisons (or MSLs, RSMs, etc.) focus their time on Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs)
and mapping out education and professional development plans for these KOLs. As such, MSLs
typically track more robust data on a KOL than a Specialty Sales Representative. VBioPharma
can support the following business processes for MSLs:

Robust Professional profiling


Relationship and Influence modeling
Clinical Trial tracking
Publications tracking
Speaker Evaluations
Activity Briefs with details on indications and presentations
Activity measurement across products, MSLs and KOLs
Medical Events Management

Sales and MSL Management


Management teams across the following types of functional areas require visibility into how
their teams are performing as well as metrics to determine which areas are underserved or
need work. VBioPharma provides the following functionality for management teams:

Approval processes for Time off Territory Requests and Material Orders
Approval processes for Product Planning and Account Planning
Dashboard monitoring of Plan Execution and Activities
Visibility to all data for their teams including drill down to the lowest level of detail

Of course, your organization can choose to deploy various functional areas of the application to
various groups accordingly. Please refer to the VBioPharma Administration Guide for best
practice recommendations for deploying application functionality to various groups.

Accounts, Person Accounts, Contacts


The VBioPharma application utilizes different entities in the Salesforce.com Platform to
distinguish between different types of customers.
Accounts are customers where your organization needs to track robust data on a business, such
as a hospital, group practice or managed care organization.

Figure 1: Account Profile MCO Example

14
Veeva Systems Confidential Information

Person Accounts are individual people that require robust data tracking. Examples of Person
Accounts are physicians, P&T Committee members, and other medical practitioners.

Figure 2: Person Account Profile Professional Example

VBioPharma Functionality Guide


Contacts are individual people that do not require as in-depth data tracking as Person Accounts,
but still are worthy of tracking. Additionally, your organization may prefer to keep these types
of profiles separate from more prominent Person Account profiles. Examples of Contacts
include auxiliary personnel at a doctors office (nurses, receptionists, etc.) but could also include
key non-prescribers at managed care organizations such as C-level contacts, VPs, Directors, etc.

Figure 3: Contact Profile Example

Ultimately, your company and your business processes will determine which employee groups
will utilize Contacts or Person Accounts for tracking key customers. Both types of profiles are
available for use in the Sphere of Influence and as Call Attendees in call reporting. Please refer
to pages 18 and 38, respectively, for more information on these two functions.

Addresses
You can track multiple addresses for any account or person account. Addresses include data
such as the complete address, the type of address, office hours, office and staff notes, related
licensing information as well as Google map integration. Addresses appear as a related list for
each account. Addresses are also available for use in Reports and Dashboards and My Account
Queries. International-style postal codes are also supported, as shown below.

Figure 4: Address Related List

Office Best Times


Office Best Times allow the users to record the best times to visit the customer. A visual control
allows the users to input multiple time ranges and use slider bars to adjust the times. Entering
the data is simple using common time metaphors similar to Google. Examples of time data
entry are:
8 to 12 becomes 8 am to 12 noon
8 to 12 and 2 to 4 becomes 8 am to 12 noon and 2 pm to 4pm.
It is not necessary to input the time using quotes.
The first time a user inputs time for any day of the week, a prompt will ask if the hours should
be repeated for each day, to represent standard hours.
Office Best Times are utilized by the Scheduling module to optimize when the planned calls are
scheduled for each account. For more details on the Scheduling module please refer to page 41.
Office Best Times appear on the Address profile for each address.

including role, level of influence and comments about the relationship. An unlimited number of
relationships are allowed, and can include any combination between Accounts, Person Accounts
and Contacts. Detailed visual cues and functionality in the sphere include:

Icons represent accounts by type. For example, a hospital is represented by the


standard cross symbol. Person Accounts are represented by a person figure.
The Center icon represents the currently selected account
Satellite icons represent each account with which the main account has a
relationship.
Black text under a satellite icon represents the role or type of relationship.
A hyperlink under each satellite displays the name of the account.
Black connector lines represent a simple relationship.
Red connector lines with arrows represent a relationship where one party has
influence over the other.

ACTIVITY TRACKING CALL REPORTING AND MEETING BRIEFS


VBioPharma includes functionality for Primary and Specialty Sales, Managed Markets and MSLs
to track their calls, interactions and activities with customers. Each group will use the basic call
reporting functionality that has been tailored to their needs.
VBioPharma supports five types of Calls: Individual Calls, Individual Calls with Attendees, Group
Calls, Contact Calls, and Medical Event Calls. Individual Calls are those that are based solely on
Person Accounts and therefore are related to just one Professional. Individual Calls with
Attendees are those Calls that are not based on a Practice or Hospital, but do include multiple
Attendees. Group Calls are based solely on an Account, such as a hospital or group practice, and
could therefore have multiple attendees. Attendees are either Person Accounts or User
Accounts. When a user saves a Group Call or a Individual Call with Attendees, one record gets
recorded for each attendee (Person Account or User Account) as well as one record gets
recorded for the Account. A Contact Call is an activity against a Salesforce.com Contact. A
Medical Event Calls are those activities that a user performs against a specific Medical Event.
Users can record calls from many places; on each account profile there is a Record a Call
button available. Users can also record calls from the My Schedule page by drilling on the Edit
link. Users can also record calls by clicking on Record Activity from the Account Plan or Account
Tactic page.
Primary and Specialty Sales Representatives will record a call as a record of their interaction
with a customer. Typical functionality included when recording a call is indicating who

FORMULARY MATRIX AND BENEFIT DESIGNS


The Formulary Matrix allows Managed Markets personnel to view, highlight and track detailed
formulary data for their accounts. The data is organized into multiple benefit designs for each
account, and the markets the company wishes to track. Products within the markets include
both company and competitor products. Companies can track the status of the product,
restriction codes and detailed notes about the restrictions. Users can use the supplied legend as
a highlighter to easily and visually identify statuses and restrictions.

Many companies will choose to purchase formulary data from 3rd party vendors, others will
choose to manually record the data from their knowledge of their marketplaces; still others will
do a combination of both. Each of these three scenarios is supported. In the combination case
where vendor-sourced and employee-sourced data exists for the same product, the employeesourced data will be displayed in the matrix.

Additionally, users can elect to link the accounts benefit designs to another accounts benefit
design. This is done when their Account follows the formulary of another account and the user
does not want to manually type the data in. Users can then elect to override individual
product statuses, notes and restrictions if there are slight differences between the parent design
and their accounts design.

CLOSED LOOP ACCOUNT PLANNING AND EXECUTION


VBioPharma includes an entire closed-loop strategic account planning and execution business
process. This process can be utilized by any user who needs to create a business plan for their
accounts, execute on their plans and the report on the results. The Account Planning and
Execution business process is depicted in the slide below:

Figure 63: Account Planning and Execution Business Process

Many customers utilize a four-step process for strategic account planning, although their
processes are typically broken as they lack the tools and technology to effectively plan, execute
and measure. The basic strategic account planning process in VBioPharma is as follows:
1.

Product Plan
The Brand Manager creates Strategies, Tactics and Key Messages for a particular
brand
The Brand Manager then reviews with and/or gets an approval from Managed
Markets Sales Management Team
The Product Plan is released to Managed Markets Sales Team

2.

Account Plan

51
Veeva Systems Confidential Information
(For use only by licensed Customers of Veeva Systems)

VBioPharma Functionality Guide

Account Managers creates their strategic Account Plans, SWOT and Strategic
Products for each account in their territory
Account Managers then review approved Product Plans, understanding the
strategies, tactics and key messages that are recommended for the product. The
account manager also decides how these recommendations will apply to their
account base and what, if any, alterations will need to be made.
The Account manager can then adopt the product plan and apply it to his/her
existing Account Plan. Additional tactics can be created by the account manager if
necessary.
The account manager then submits the plan for approval by management.

3.

Account Execution
Account Managers execute according to the account plan.
Meeting Briefs record which products were discussed with the customer, the type of
activities for those products, attendees, status, location, significant events and other
important activity classifications are noted.
Meeting Briefs are also linked to individual product plans and strategies.

4.

Measure Results
Activity reports are used by all members of the sales organization and the brand
teams to see how well various strategies and tactics are being executed and how
much progress is being made.
Visual dashboards help provide quick overviews to activity status and completion.
Reports can be exported to Microsoft Excel for further analysis and/or sharing.

Your organization is not required to follow this process exactly. Many customers will tailor this
process and the data points captured along the way to suit the needs of the business. Other
customers will opt not to use all four steps in the process. Still other customers will deploy this
process to other groups besides Managed Markets, such as MSLs and Specialty Sales. Ultimately
this is the decision of your organization and you can use whichever pieces and parts that fit the
best.

Looks at the zip code of all Addresses that are the Primary Address for the
Account or Addresses identified to be included in the Territory Assignment
Determines the territory(ies) to assign it to based on the zip code as listed in the

The territory alignment can also be instantiated by a checkbox field on an address record. If an
address is flagged for inclusion, the account that is associated with the address will be
associated with the proper territory.

pharmacies and other institutions they visit. A central piece of the sales reps job, managing
orders within Veeva CRM brings the current paper-based ordering process into the 21st century.
Orders can be placed against specified Accounts, and users can add line items (products and
quantities) to the order. The Order page is divided into two parts: Order header information,
such as billing address, shipping address and total discount across all line items; and Order Line
Items, where the user enters the products and their respective quantities and the discounts (if
applicable) are automatically applied. TheOrder Management module includes an advanced
Pricing Rule engine, which looks for the lowest price available for the product and quantity
entered. Pricing rules can be set at the Product, Account or Account Group level. Orders can be
placed directly to the account (Direct Orders) or through wholesalers affiliated with the account
(Transfer Orders).

Order Management is supported online and on VMobile Tablet Edition.
