Veeva Validation Management That Works in Real Operations
Most validation processes are still manual and fragmented. We make Veeva Validation Management work in practice, led by consultants with experience from Veeva and the industry.
You need to prepare for Veeva Validation Management
Veeva runs the implementation themselves, typically in eight weeks with two workshops per week. But without the right people aligned and processes defined upfront, critical decisions get made under pressure in terminology your team hasn't had time to learn.
Preparation changes that.
When business processes are aligned and stakeholders are on board before the first workshop, the implementation becomes a sprint toward a goal you've already defined. The difference shows up long after go-live, in adoption, in time-to-value, and in whether the investment delivers what it promised.
That’s where Epista comes in.
Why validation is still manual – and how to fix it
In most life science companies, validation still happens in spreadsheets, paper binders, and SharePoint folders. Test scripts live in files that hopefully got signed. When experienced people leave, their knowledge walks out with them. And the tools that do exist tend to be built for the IT department, not for the validation teams doing the actual work.
Veeva Vault Validation Management changes that. It brings validation planning, requirements, and test execution into one platform, aligned with GAMP 5 and the way regulated industries actually operate in practice.
Where paper-based validation breaks down:
- Test scripts and evidence scattered across Excel, SharePoint, and paper files
- Process knowledge tied to individuals, with nothing reusable when they move on
- IT-centric tools that validation teams work around rather than with
- Slow audit preparation because evidence has to be assembled from scratch
- No real visibility across applications, equipment, processes, and methods
How we work with you
Before Veeva arrives
We prepare your organization for Veeva's implementation before it starts. That means aligning business processes, mapping stakeholders, and translating Veeva's terminology into language your team already speaks.
It's often the difference between an implementation that runs smoothly and one that delivers a system nobody wants to use.
The consequence is delayed projects, and costs rise because teams spend more time navigating the quality system than using it to manage risk effectively.
During the Veeva implementation
Once Veeva starts, we guide your team through the decisions that matter long after go-live. We translate between Veeva's world and yours, and we help shape the validation lifecycle management design so the system reflects how your organization actually works.
After go-live
Veeva runs a mandatory hypercare phase after go-live – and once that ends, you're on your own with the system. We stay on as your managed operations partner, handling ongoing support, user training, system optimization, and the change control that comes with every Veeva release. Your validated system stays validated.
