Following Dreamforce and the recent Salesforce partner enablement session on Life Sciences Cloud, we've summarised what matters most to users.
Having attended all the Life Sciences sessions at Dreamforce, the ThirdEye team followed this by participating in Salesforce's two-day partner enablement session on the Life Sciences Cloud Winter '27 release, and have combined these insights into a summary of what matters most to you.
First and foremost, the name has officially reverted back to Life Sciences Cloud, dropping Agenforce from the title. Something we’re very happy about as it became a continuous flip between names.
Events get a set of practical improvements that cut down on manual setup and give better control of spend. Highlights include automatic mapping of event and participant types, creating follow-up visits straight from an event, and allocating estimated costs before approval. There are also new limits on HCP payments and participation, and an integration with Concur for event expenses. The team here at ThirdEye has created a series of assets and accelerators to help our clients rapidly deploy this new functionality.
Order Management goes live in October ‘26 and is aimed at consumer health and over-the-counter reps who sell into pharmacies. It covers the whole journey from shelf to signed order in one slick app, and works fully offline. Reps can run store checks, build and submit orders for approval, and use full pricing while offline, all built on Revenue Cloud.
To use it you'll need Revenue Cloud Advanced. However, this now comes included as part of the new LSC Core, LSC Advanced and LSC Sales and Service Max licences, so most customers will get it by default.
Visit Agent is now generally available. Reps can talk through a visit debrief on the iPad and on-device AI fills in the visit record for them. It's a promising start, but there are still some limits in this release (these limitations are admittedly on the roadmap to be updated), so it's worth checking if it fits your needs before rolling it out widely.
Also new for field teams:
Enablement Coaching, a new product for self and coach evaluations that also works offline
Visit validation when saving, to improve data quality
Configurable Time Off Territory categories
Activity plans that can be cloned into the next cycle
The new Content Ingestion API makes it much easier to load approved content and make it available to the right territories. This will be a real help for organisations moving from Veeva. Alongside that, there's better tracking of how content is used, remote sessions can now be run from the web as well as an iPad, and consent capture is more flexible. Full Regulated Content Management is set to be released in Feb ‘27 and we’ve had the chance to see live demos of it at Dreamforce.
Winter '27 is a meaningful step forward, especially for consumer health teams and for organisations planning a move from Veeva. So if you would like to talk through what these changes could mean for your organisation, get in touch with the ThirdEye team.
