• Driving System Validation and User Adoption: Supporting UAT activities, documenting test results, and training end‑users on Veeva Quality Docs workflows to ensure a smooth cutover and sustained system compliance post‑migration.
• Supporting Decommissioning and Audit Readiness: Coordinating the controlled retirement of the legacy platform, maintaining documentation traceability during transition, and ensuring the quality system remains inspection‑ready for internal and external audits throughout the migration period.
