OpenQ for Salesforce on the Salesforce.com App Exchange Delivers the Power of Social, Mobile and Open Cloud Technologies to Transform Customers into Social Enterprises
Charlottesville, VA – May 16, 2012 – OpenQ, the leading solutions provider for enabling compliant collaboration with medical networks, announces the addition of OpenQ’s App on the Salesforce.com App Exchange. OpenQ’s integrated solution provides a comprehensive suite of tools for pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device companies seeking to collaborate with external Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs), consultants, researchers, customers and other stakeholders through interactions.
Only OpenQ designs and builds solutions specifically for life sciences companies to compliantly and effectively build relationships between their field personnel, Medical Science Liaisons (MSLs) and other collaborators to identify and develop business critical, yet highly scrutinized, interactions.
“OpenQ for Salesforce now available on the App Exchange demonstrates our commitment to delivering compliant customer solutions for mobile-social interactions with key opinion leaders and thought leaders in the pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device industries,” said Otavio Freire, Chief Technology Officer, OpenQ.
The Power of Social, Mobile, Open and Compliant
OpenQ delivers powerful tools to navigate the professional social networks among healthcare professionals (HCPs) and identify the most influential key opinion leaders. Built-in access to comprehensive biographical data, such as affiliation and clinical information, is available to promote effective engagement.
Product Key Features
Rather than providing a disparate group of software tools for specific tasks, OpenQ for Salesforce provides a comprehensive app which includes functionality to identify key opinion leaders; review their professional profiles; and plan, manage and measure the resulting engagement. OpenQ’s data offerings are seamlessly tied into the platform. For example, new stakeholder and network profiles can be easily discovered within the provided identification and search tools. Once identified, all stakeholder and network information automatically becomes part of the customer’s private repository. Built-in reports and an ad-hoc reporting engine provide a powerful lens for analyzing the data captured by the system.

Users also gain access to OpenQ’s industry-leading profiles. This data, which is curated from a wide array of data sources, is collected in a library and is fully searchable. Updated data as well as new profiles are automatically synchronized with individual iPads in the field.
