Study Snapshot

This study engaged 59 Sales and Managed Market leaders from 40 companies; all participants share leadership and oversight of Sales, Training, and Commercial groups at their healthcare organizations. Representatives from some companies participated in interviews.

Where applicable, the study compares data from 2011 with 2013 to show the trends and changes that are occurring in the market.

Key topics include:

Training
Content Delivery and Usage
Syncing Tablets with CRM Systems
Security and Compliance Concerns
Measuring Effectiveness
Challenges and Best Practices

Sample Key Findings

Integration with Managed Markets: Compared to Sales, the rate of deployment is much lower for Managed Market teams. In 2013, 29% of benchmark partners have implemented iPads for their Managed Market teams compared to 21% in 2011. iPads still continue to be the preferred device amongst benchmark partners in 2013.

Vendor Selection: Vendors are an integral part of implementing iPads and selecting them can be very complicated. Analyze your business requirement and be clear about your process while selecting a vendor for content management. Identify a team responsible for monitoring the work done by vendors especially for content.
