Multichannel Overview

Veeva Multichannel solutions cover four distinct channels: CLM, Engage for Portals, CoBrowse, and Approved Email. Developing content for these channels is critical to the success of customers' communication goals and is a significant commitment for customers and their content agencies. This topic provides guidelines for developing content that can be used for one or many channels.

Channel Name Channel Type Channel Purpose Media Types Reusable HTML Content?
CLM Mobile device (iPad or Windows)

The rep or MSL displays CLM presentations while meeting face to face with HCPs or HCOs. This is a rep- or MSL-led interaction.

 

Content is downloaded locally and does not require an internet or data connection to display.

  • HTML5
  • Images
  • Video
  • PowerPoint (when converted by Vault to image files)
  • PDF

Reusing CLM HTML content can be challenging. The content is built for a mobile touch device and is rarely intended to be used with a mouse and with older HTML4 browsers, like Internet Explorer 8, commonly used by HCPs.

Other media types can be re-used.

Engage for Portals Desktop or mobile web browsers This self-service channel for HCPs and HCOs, allows them to view presentations displayed on a website. The HCO or HCP uses their own desktop browser or mobile device browser to view presentations. The content is embedded in a customer's web site.
  • HTML4 or HTML5
  • Images
  • Video
  • PDFs
  • PowerPoint (when converted by Vault to image files)

Engage content can typically be reused in CoBrowse or in CLM because it is tested across a range of browsers.

Other media types can be re-used.

CoBrowse Desktop or mobile web browsers The rep or MSL displays CLM presentations while meeting remotely with HCPs or HCOs. This is a rep- or MSL-led interaction. The HCO or HCP uses their own desktop browser or mobile device browser to join remote presentations. The content is embedded in a customer's web site.
  • HTML4 or HTML5

CoBrowse content can typically be reused in Engage for Portals or CLM because it is generally tested across a range of browsers.

Other media types can be re-used

Approved Email Desktop, web or mobile email clients Approved emails are a communication from rep or medical staff member to HCPs and HCOs. The allow reps or medical personnel to send controlled, compliant email.
  • HTML
Because emails are a unique form of HTML, this content cannot be reused for the web or CLM.
