Coronavirus: Business and technology in a pandemic From cancelled conferences to disrupted supply chains, not a corner of the global economy is immune to the spread of COVID-19. Read now

We curated some of the efforts to speed up the homework. Here’s a look at the best COVID-19 vaccine management platforms so far. To decide on a vaccine management tool, enterprises need to consider a few variables. For instance:

Is the path of least resistance tying vaccine management to a current system and/or function within the company?
Will vaccine management be more of an ongoing service, workflow tool?
Can you add on to an existing platform or do you require consultants and something custom?
And does vaccine management represent an ongoing IT purchase beyond the pandemic?

Pondering some of those questions may reveal a lot about what software vendor to choose. For instance, a Workday customer may see vaccine management as an extension of human capital management. ServiceNow customers may find it easier to add vaccine management as part of overall workflow processes. Salesforce’s Vaccine Cloud will already have integration with existing systems that are used by healthcare and government entities.

Here’s a look at the key vaccine management software vendors and platforms.

Salesforce Vaccine Cloud Graduating from Work.com

When the COVID-19 forced enterprises to move to remote work models, Salesforce was among the first enterprise vendors to offer management tools for the new normal. In 2020, Salesforce launched Work.com and has been iterating ever since.

Vaccine management was an extension of Work.com, but now has its own cloud that is designed for public sector customers . Vaccine Cloud is a configuration of core Salesforce apps (Health Cloud, Service Cloud, Experience Cloud, Digital Engagement), Platform (Lightning Platform), Tableau, and MuleSoft for governments and businesses.

Vaccine Cloud includes monitoring, inventory checks, analytics, and local and community data. Salesforce has also aggregated a playbook derived from customer experiences.
