Sycor helps in the decision-making process: which CRM system will the company rely on in the future?
The Life Sciences CRM market has seen significant developments recently, driven by the activities of Veeva, IQVIA, and Salesforce. Veeva Systems is moving its CRM from the Salesforce platform to its own Veeva Vault platform. Vault CRM is generally available and has multiple customers live already. Customers will begin their migrations from Veeva CRM to Vault CRM in late 2024 and 2025. All transitions must be completed by September 2030.
At the same time, Salesforce has announced the launch of its own LifeSciences CRM Solution "Salesforce Life Sciences Cloud". Salesforce has partnered with IQVIA to accelerate the development of their new product. The new product, which is expected to be available in autumn 2025, uses parts of IQVIA OCE's codebase. IQVIA will discontinue OCE in 2029.
Yes, a migration is necessary as the existing Veeva CRM will no longer be operated from September 2030 onwards. For all Veeva CRM customers, moving to Veeva Vault CRM ensures Veeva CRM's full functionality on an enhanced, future-proof Vault platform.
Existing Veeva CRM Orgs will be available until September 1, 2030. No extension is possible.
Veeva CRM is now in stability mode. During stability mode, Veeva CRM releases will include fixes for significant defects, compliance, platform compatibility, and security updates. All innovation moving forward will be within Veeva Vault CRM, Veeva’s next-generation CRM.
In addition to migrating to Vault CRM, switching to a different system may also be an option. In addition to the solutions from IQVIA (or Salesforce in future), there are several other systems that can be a possible option in the various corporate contexts.
To do this, the existing CRM landscape must first be analyzed. You should engage with your Veeva team, who are providing an assessment of your current environment. In addition, consider the following:
Veeva recommends that you migrate to Vault CRM and then optimize post-migration. By following this approach the migration will be straightforward and will not introduce additional complexity or time into the migration process. Veeva has created tools to simplify and expedite the migration process. The benefits of migrating early include: new customizations and integrations add to migration work, minimize backlog growth, innovation will be in Vault CRM and this allows you to focus on the future.
No matter where your company currently stands, we can offer you support in each of the phases and questions presented. As part of our CRM evaluation, we analyze your CRM landscape and solutions based on their commercial and functional fit for your company. If you have already decided to migrate to Veeva Vault CRM, we will advise you throughout the transition. We will be ready to support the migration by managing customizations that are outside the core application, integrations, end to end testing and overall project management.
