Client Situation
- A pharmaceutical organization successfully re-introduced CRM across its commercial sales and medical affairs teams after a previous CRM system had been discontinued a year ago.
- In a first-of-its-kind industry implementation, one of our leading biopharma client became the inaugural customer to launch Agentforce Life Sciences Cloud for Customer Engagement, creating a next-generation, compliant and scalable engagement platform for Health Care Organization (HCO) and affiliated Health Care Professional (HCP) management. From requirements definition to production go-live in just 8 weeks, the program was executed under aggressive timelines while upholding the highest standards of quality, regulatory compliance, and user experience.
Business Challenge
- The client had previously implemented a CRM, but it was discontinued long ago, resulting in a return to manual and fragmented processes.
- HCP and HCO data were maintained in spreadsheets and local systems, offering limited historical continuity and poor engagement visibility. There was no centralized mechanism to capture and track meaningful engagements between sales and medical teams and their HCOs/HCPs, limiting the ability to generate insights that could guide future engagement planning and improve field productivity.
- Consent management was largely manual, making it difficult to leverage syndicated data sources efficiently and compliantly.
- Leadership lacked reliable insights into engagement effectiveness, field productivity and organizational feedback.

We implemented Salesforce Health Cloud, aligned to Agentforce Life Sciences Cloud for Customer Engagement, re-introducing CRM with a strong focus on adoption, usability, and life sciences best practices for our client.
