Program description :
Since 2021, Servier has relied globally on Veeva CRM, complemented since 2022 by an integrated omnichannel ecosystem that places data at the core of its strategy to support decision-making and prepare for AI integration.
With the end of the partnership between Veeva and Salesforce setting December 2029 as the deadline for our current tool, we are launching a structured migration. In line with market standards, we see this step not as a simple technical transfer, but as a strategic redesign of our customer engagement model.
