IQVIA OCE Email development

Compliant field email, ready to send.


We design and build IQVIA OCE Email for pharma, biotech, and medical device teams: modular templates that reps send from OCE, that render cleanly everywhere, and that meet IQVIA's requirements from the start. We're one of only three certified IQVIA agency partners in Canada, and the only one certified in both OCE Personal and OCE Email.

Questions about an OCE Email build?
What we build

Templates your reps can personalize, not rebuild.

OCE Email works when a rep can pick an approved template, personalize it in a few clicks, and send, without waiting on another round of review. That comes from a modular system built the right way up front. For the CLM side of the field toolkit, see IQVIA OCE Personal development.

Scales across regions, brands, and languages
How we work

Built once, reused everywhere.

We plan the fragment and token structure before building, so one template set carries across markets instead of a separate build for every variant. Then we handle design, HTML, rendering QA, and packaging to IQVIA requirements. We build on both platforms, so if you also run Veeva, our take on the choice is here: Veeva vs IQVIA OCE.

Talk through a build
Why it's hard

Email is the hardest format to build well

Email looks simple and builds like nothing else on the web. There's no single way an inbox renders your code. Outlook still runs on Microsoft Word's rendering engine, Gmail strips out styles it doesn't like, and Apple Mail and the dozens of mobile apps each read the same HTML a little differently. Dark mode can flip colors you never meant to change, and image blocking can hide half your message before a word is read. The modern layout tools that make websites easy don't apply here, so a clean, on-brand email still comes down to nested tables, inline styles, and careful fallbacks, tested client by client until it holds up everywhere.

That's the part experience pays for. We've been building for the web and the inbox for more than 20 years, and we've built hundreds of emails in that time, from one-off sends to modular systems that scale across brands, markets, and languages. We know where each client breaks and how to build around it, so what your team approves is what the healthcare professional opens.

What we handle

IQVIA OCE Email services

IQVIA OCE Email is compliant field email a rep sends from within IQVIA's Orchestrated Customer Engagement (OCE) platform. We build the modular template system that makes approved, personalized email work at scale, held to Canadian requirements like PAAB and CASL. It's the same work we take on across life sciences, on both IQVIA OCE and its Veeva approved email equivalent.


Modular templates from fragments and tokens

Reusable fragments and tokens so an approved email can be personalized and reused across brands, regions, and teams without rebuilding from scratch.

Personalized with OCE data

Content that pulls OCE data to greet the HCP and adapt to the account, inside brand guardrails that keep every version compliant.

Cross-client rendering QA

We proof every template in Email on Acid, an email preview and testing platform that renders each build across the actual clients and devices HCPs use, from Outlook to iPhone. That catches the breaks before send, so the email lands looking right and gets read.

Consent, CASL, and governance

Built to align with consent, CASL, and your governance rules, so the field can send with confidence.

Bilingual and PAAB-ready

English and French versions built to stay in step, packaged for PAAB review so Canadian approval goes smoothly.

Analytics and reporting

Sends tagged so the team can see opens, clicks, and engagement, and read which messages land.

How a build runs

From kickoff to a template set ready to send

Every OCE Email build runs through the same four stages, so you always know where yours stands and what happens next.

01

Plan

We map the fragment and token structure, the data you want to personalize with, and the consent rules, so one template set carries across markets.

02

Design

On-brand layouts built mobile-first, tight to guidelines, so the email reads well on the small screens HCPs open it on.

03

Build and render QA

Hand-coded HTML tested across email clients, with fragments and tokens wired for safe, compliant personalization.

04

Handoff

Packaged to IQVIA's requirements and handed over ready to load, send, and reuse across brands and regions.

Fifth and Missing Design Group is a Canadian agency. For Canadian affiliates, that means content adapted for PAAB review and bilingual requirements, handled by people who work in that context.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions

What is IQVIA OCE Email?

It's compliant field email that a rep sends to a healthcare professional from within IQVIA OCE, assembled from approved templates. We design and build those templates so they render cleanly, personalize safely, and meet IQVIA's requirements.

Do you build modular OCE Email templates?

Yes. We build with reusable fragments, tokens, and brand guardrails so content can be personalized and reused across regions, brands, and teams without rebuilding from scratch each time.

Do you handle rendering QA and compliance?

Yes. Templates go through cross-client rendering checks and are built to IQVIA's technical and compliance requirements, so what gets approved is what lands in the inbox.

Can you scale email across regions and brands?

Yes. A modular template system with consistent fragments and tokens is what makes compliant personalization work at scale, across markets and languages, without a separate build for every variant.

How much does an IQVIA OCE Email build cost?

It depends on how modular the system needs to be, how many templates and variants, and the languages involved. A single approved email costs less than a full modular template library. If you've got a project in mind, let's chat and figure out what it would cost, no pressure.

How fast can you turn around an OCE Email?

A single approved email is quick. A typical template runs a few business days from approved content to a tested, IQVIA-ready build, and for a rush we can turn a straightforward email around in about 24 hours. Tell us the deadline and we'll be straight about what fits.

Can we see how the email performs?

Yes. Sends are tagged so the team can see opens, clicks, and engagement in OCE, which tells you which messages land and where to focus the next send.

Does the email meet CASL and consent rules?

Yes. We build to align with CASL and your consent and governance rules, so the field can send compliant email without guessing. Your team owns the consent data; we make sure the templates respect it.

Do you build Veeva Approved Email too?

Yes. We build the equivalent on Veeva as well, so if you run both platforms the content and structure stay consistent across them.

Are you a certified IQVIA partner?

Yes. Fifth and Missing Design Group is one of only three certified IQVIA marketing agency partners in Canada, the only Canadian agency certified in both OCE Personal and OCE Email, and a winner of the IQVIA Technologies Global Partner of the Year Award. We've completed 150+ OCE builds since 2020.
