Better Buy: Veeva Systems vs. Salesforce

"Digital transformation" -- a catch-all phrase for efforts to replace old methods of operating a business with more technologically advanced ones -- was already moving rapidly before 2020. But COVID-19 has accelerated the trend.

I own shares of both companies. If you want to buy just one, your choice might come down to your investing style.
