NEW YORK, Jan. 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The article excerpt below from PM360 Magazine, written by Richie Etwaru, chief digital officer, IMS Health (NYSE:IMS), introduces the concept of Orchestrated Customer Engagement to the life sciences industry---a concept that combines the automation of multichannel marketing with the human touch of traditional sales and the power of next-generation technology.

ARTICLE EXCERPT:

Many life sciences companies are just beginning to formulate or implement multichannel or omnichannel marketing strategies, automating processes that will let them communicate more effectively with healthcare professionals across a number of different channels. Even so, many companies are already thinking about the next big step in the evolution of pharmaceutical sales and marketing: Orchestrated Customer Engagement (OCE).

With OCE, sales, marketing and information technology are closely aligned. The three teams work together to provide customers with relevant and timely information, resources and experiences. The OCE approach to customer engagement is designed to improve the relationship between life sciences companies and their customers, and to increase efficiency across all communication channels and stakeholders while boosting ROI.
