S Phase Completes Multiple Pharmaceutical Company CRM Integrations in 2016

ATLANTA, Jan. 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- S Phase, an Atlanta-based company focusing exclusively on providing strategic and logistical speakers bureau and peer-to-peer programming for biopharmaceutical companies, continues to accrue unparalleled expertise in data integration and exchange, including multiple CRM integrations for a number of the world's leading biopharmaceutical companies.

"We're watching our customer's ecosystems evolve," said Deborah Prince, President of S Phase, "and it's clear that accurate, robust, and sophisticated data integration support has become a core requirement. Naturally, S Phase is evolving too—with enhanced services and amplified technology platform—to ensure the highest quality solutions for all our clients."

For one such client, S Phase launched a series of parallel integrations, one connecting with the Veeva Systems CRM platform and another leveraging IMS Health's Nexxus™ platform. "This is an orchestrated, multipoint integrated solution," explained Giovanni Gomez, Director of Software Development for S Phase. "In short, we're providing real-time multidirectional connectivity—collecting and consuming master data, activity data, target and alignment data—which allows S Phase to understand each unique activity and interaction within the full context of the client's ecosystem. We can then distribute activity and interaction data back through multiple client systems to inform and report to our clients' Sales Operations, Data Insights, Compliance, and Strategic Reporting teams, all with full automation and fault-tolerant reliability."

This is just one example of the integration capabilities and inter-operability focus of S Phase. "We're at every level, from standard master data integration and data exchange to full and deep integration with CRM platforms," Deborah Prince added, "offering not only ease of use and simplification for Field Sales users but also expanded data insight—accurate and unified reporting across the medical communications and promotional service spectrum."

S Phase builds and maintains integrations involving a number of different platforms with small- and medium-sized biopharmaceutical companies and ranging from flat file with SFTP delivery to secure real-time web service integrations. "Our typical customer engagements include a mix of services and data integrations," said Jason Hayes, Chief Operations Officer, "typically between 5 and 10 unique points of integration per client but sometimes numbering more than 20, spanning various systems, platforms, entities and mechanisms."

Examples of the kinds and types of systems with which S Phase integrates:

• Customer Master Data
  • Profiles for both individuals and organizations, with multiple attributes, addresses, statuses, etc.
  • Support for ongoing MDM activities, including profile updates, merges and purges
  • Support for automated add requests and closed-loop resolutions and profile matching
• Operational Master Data
  • Product, brand, and indication data
  • Field sales organization and hierarchy
  • Field sales and home office users
