Heartbeat Software Signs a Global KOL Management Deal with a Top 15 Pharmaceutical Company



    Heartbeat Software, the leading provider of Key Opinion Leader
    management solutions for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology
    industries, has signed a global deal with a top 15 pharmaceutical
    company. The engagement, which will be run out of Heartbeat´s European
    and U.S. headquarters, is one of the largest in Heartbeat Software´s
    history.

    The client, who has its headquarters in Europe, selected Heartbeat
    Software´s KOL management suite to help their global marketing and
    medical affairs departments manage their relationships with thought
    leaders across the enterprise.

    "Our clients have begun to understand the need to manage KOLs
    across brands and markets, with effective control and oversight their
    most important constituents. This customer is a perfect example of a
    global company that has decided to execute their global KOL management
    strategy in the right way," said Jonah Meyers, President of Heartbeat
    Software.

    "Because of increasing government oversight as well as an increase
    in Key Opinion Leader use across brands, the days of large
    pharmaceutical and biotech companies managing KOLs in country and
    brand silos is coming to an end," added Mr. Meyers.

    Larry Cohen, EVP of Heartbeat, had the following to say, "I think
    the main driver behind our success is that we are the only provider in
    our space that offers enterprise strength software as well as medical
    strategy services. From a software perspective, we have the most
    comprehensive suite on the market including KOL profiling,
    presentation management, event management, physician facing portals
    and data delivery. Importantly, we augment our solutions with
    strategic medical services such as KOL segmentation, influence
    mapping, international physician surveys, online advisory boards and
    KOL development planning. This combination is what our clients are
    demanding."
