Logging on to CES

About Logging on to CES (Collaborative Enterprise Sourcing)

Logging onto CES is basically the same thing as logging onto VPM Lifecycle Navigator Web.  When logging onto CES, you are using the same GUI that you are familiar with when using VPM Lifecycle Navigator Web.  In order to access the information in CES, you must have a  user ID and a password, since the log on process is secured to ensure authorized access to the CES database. 

Each user in the organization belongs to a particular role that drives the tasks that they can perform in CES, so you should check with your administrator to understand the role that has been assigned to you, and the authorizations that belong to it.

You can also use the Single Sign On if it has been implemented in your CES environment. Please refer to the VPM Lifecycle Navigator Web Installation Guide for more details.
