❓ Q&A:

Q1. Will LSC have strong user adoption?

🟢 Yes – there’s a strong focus on usability. Salesforce is developing tools like text-to-speech and medicine box scanning to ease daily tasks for sales reps.

 

Q2. Will LSC support campaigns from the start?

🟠 Not fully. While Marketing Cloud is already available, full LSC campaign integration is scheduled for June 2026, including face-to-face planning and in-platform account enrollment.

 

Q3. Will LSC handle MLR approval processes?

🔴 Not natively at launch. Approval processes will initially be handled via partners like Trueson or Vodori, with planned integration into Vault Promomats.

 

Q4. Open Data vs OneKey?

🟢 IQVIA’s OneKey data is fully compatible with Salesforce. Veeva Open Data may be technically possible but depends on Veeva’s policies.

 

Q5. What about iPad sync performance?

🟢 It will be optimized. The offline model will improve on what OCE and Veeva currently offer, focusing on territory and database size.
