The Tie-Up With Ora

This is not the first alliance between Veeva Systems and Ora. Earlier, Veeva Systems had collaborated with Ora to integrate its flagship platforms into the latter’s systems. The first move started with Ora integrating Veeva Vault eTMF into its clinical environment so as to aid clinical teams manage documents and processes in real-time.

Addition of the Veeva Vault Study Startup enabled Ora to speed up global site selection and activation. Inclusion of the Veeva Vault CTMS also allows clinical teams to gain a detailed insight into the trial lifecycle for proactive trial management.

Per Veeva Systems’ management, the continued partnership with Ora is strategic as CROs are shifting their focus to simplify clinical operations.
