Vanguard Audit & Compliance: Driving Migration in Health & Life Sciences

Vanguard Platform Audit and Compliance supports Health and Life Sciences (HLS) organisations in planning and executing a seamless migration from Veeva CRM to Salesforce Life Sciences Cloud. The platform provides comprehensive visibility into your current Salesforce environment, offering actionable insights that enable cleaner, more compliant, and more efficient transitions. 

By mapping existing processes, identifying bottlenecks, eliminating technical debt, and managing complexity, Vanguard helps HLS companies reduce risk while accelerating time to value. Purpose-built accelerators for content migration minimise disruption and reduce the burden of MLR re-approvals, ensuring business continuity and compliance throughout the transition. 

How Vanguard Platform Audit and Compliance Supports Migration

1. Plan your migration 

Vanguard maps existing processes and organisational health to help design a streamlined and compliant future state, avoiding the duplication of legacy issues and inefficiencies. 

2. Identify and resolve bottlenecks 

The platform pinpoints process delays and system friction, providing a clear roadmap to eliminate operational inefficiencies that slow down commercial and medical teams. 

3. Manage risk and complexity 

By delivering a full audit of your technical health, data model, and security configuration, Vanguard helps identify permission gaps, compliance vulnerabilities, and integration risks before migration - safeguarding data integrity and regulatory alignment. 

4. Accelerate content migration 

Specialised migration accelerators support the secure and efficient transfer of content from Veeva to Salesforce Life Sciences Cloud. These tools reduce dependency on manual rework and lower the risk of repeated MLR approval cycles, cutting both cost and time to deployment. 

5. Generate an AI-powered migration plan 

Vanguard transforms audit findings into a prioritised, AI-driven roadmap - guiding your organisation through each migration stage with precision and clarity to ensure business continuity. 

6. Enhance user adoption post-migration 

After migration, Vanguard helps increase adoption by streamlining workflows, removing unnecessary complexity, and aligning the new Salesforce environment with user needs.

Key Considerations for a Successful Migration

1. Timing 

Veeva has announced the retirement of its CRM from the Salesforce platform by the end of 2028–2029, requiring many HLS organisations to complete their migrations before this deadline. Early planning is essential to secure skilled resources and manage programme complexity. 

2. Strategy 

This migration presents an opportunity to reimagine your commercial model, data governance, and compliance strategy. The Salesforce Life Sciences Cloud offers a modern, flexible platform capable of supporting future innovation and regulatory demands.

3. Resources 

Industry-wide migration will generate high demand for experienced technical and regulatory specialists. Initiating your migration plan early ensures access to the expertise required for a compliant, efficient transition.
