Veeva has corporate offices in Shanghai and Beijing to support its multinational life sciences customers, which now include four of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies.

Veeva Systems has tailored its flagship Veeva CRM products to accommodate the Chinese market, including investment in new mobile platforms and support of both simplified and traditional Chinese.

“American and European companies that attempt to bring their existing products and business practices to China are underestimating the uniqueness of what is happening here,” added Peter Gassner, President & CEO of Veeva Systems. “We have been investing heavily in China and we will continue to expand that investment by hiring the very best people we can find in support of our customers.”
