Why Is A Content Approval Workflow Critical?

A content approval workflow is a key component of any marketing automation system. It helps you manage the approval process for all your campaigns, ensuring that only the right messages go out to the right people at the right time. To make things more complicated, heavily regulated industries such as life sciences (including Medical Device, Biotech, and Pharma) have a unique set of needs and regulations. From marketing materials and website copy down to clinical study reports and new drug applications, adhering to complex regulations requires significant amounts of administrative work to ensure that the proper directives are being followed. The digital age has cranked up the pressure for companies to speed up the approval process. Brands now heavily rely on digital content to execute their marketing strategy and the explosive growth of content has made the process far more complex. Now, life science companies are expected to create content in specialized formats, multiple languages, diverse categories, and across more channels making it harder for both the marketers and the content approval teams. Additionally, there is a greater need for personalization and customization, which requires more time to review and approve content. This diversity and volume in content leads to a very complex process that must be streamlined to improve time to market and reduce risk. While eliminating steps in the approval process can lead to losses, waiting for approvals that delay a new product’s launch is also costly. As a life science company, you probably already understand the importance of having an efficient content approval workflow in place. In fact, you may have even implemented one at some point in your organization. But as your business grows and changes over time, it can become harder to keep track of who has seen what content and when it was approved. So, in order to remain competitive in this environment, life science companies need to seek out effective software solutions that meet the unique needs of their industry to help optimize their content approval workflows.

Scale and reuse content

A cloud-based content management system ensures brand consistency across platforms, from production and clearance through distribution and reuse. It provides you complete control over your assets, allowing only approved content to reach the market and for fast changes across all channels. Most crucially, it allows for the repurposing of material for local and global audiences while ensuring that all message stays compliant. Veeva Vault's PromoMats DAM solution offers a comprehensive suite of features designed specifically to aid life science marketers in scaling and reusing content. Its collaborative user interface makes it easy for marketing teams to share content and drive reuse across teams, agencies, and tactics, helping them save time and money.

 Integration

Boston Digital offers a proactive approach, developing and enhancing the cutting-edge technologies that enable businesses to thrive in today's digital landscape. Our expert in-house developers have experience with Veeva Vault and other digital asset management platforms, allowing for seamless integration within your chosen content management system (CMS). This streamlined process empowers content creators, marketers, and other team members to continue using their preferred tools, such as Drupal or Kentico, without having to navigate an additional program.

With our integration, each team can effortlessly collaborate from their designated platforms. The content editor can create their material within the CMS as usual, and once complete, simply click a button to submit it for internal review. The content is then converted into a jpeg or PDF format and transferred to Veeva Vault, where the review team can utilize the advanced content assessment features to provide comments, highlights, and feedback as needed. Importantly, all of this feedback is sent directly to the content creator within the CMS, eliminating the need for them to access an additional platform.

Once the content is reviewed and approved within Veeva Vault, it automatically returns to the CMS, complete with its ID, and is ready for publishing. Content editors also have the option to ‘submit and publish’ when creating content, giving permissions to the system to automatically publish once approved. This refined process exemplifies an engaging, sophisticated, and professional workflow that sets Boston Digital apart in the digital world.
