Hi Julio

1. SAP-PS --> Project Systems SAP ERP based Project Management tool. It is tightly integrated with SAP Core modules like MM,SD,FICO.

it is SAP GUI based just like other core modules. it is used in project oriented scenarios like EC&O, real estate, complex MTO scenarios.

2. SAP Resource and Portfolio Management (SAP- RPM) --> SAP Enterprise Portal based Resource and portfolio management tool, it is used to manage portfolio of multiple projects, proposals, initiatives. Its UI is SAP Enterprise portal and it is integrated with SAP cProjects/ SAP PS.

3, SAP Project Portfolio Management SAP-PPM)

Same as 2, but SAP is now using term PPM for next relelases of xRPM, SAP is coming up with SAP PPM 5.0 ,

current version in market is SAP RPM 4.5

4. cProjects - It is web based Project Management tool. It is used for simpler projects like IT Projects, R&D projects etc, which does not require very tight integration with SAP ERP core modules. cProjects is integrated to some extent with SAP PS & FI-CO

Hope i have done my best extent to give answer.

Thanks
