I am not sure what your requirements are for MS Project Server, with the standard MS Project (with small modifications) it is possible to create an automated Multi-Networking enviroment, that will
1) Consolidate many single MS Project Networks
2) Harmonize interfaces between the projects
3) Highlight Multi Critical Paths\Drivers
4) Automatic filter for each M\S
5) Baseline Information from each project is transfered into the Multi Network (ie just like Artemis)
6) More Activities more RAM required
7) EVM,ERF,NPV charts can be exported when required.
MS Project Server is a system where projects are published (saved) to a central database instead of separate files.
The scheduling tool still is MS Project (Professional), with the same pros and cons that a standalone MS Project has.
Project managers / planners still use MS Project to schedule their projects; resources enter their actuals into electronic timesheets in Project Web access, that the project manager can then approve and actualize his project with.
Reporting, and specifically graphics, has improved a bit.
If you want something REALLY DIFFERENT from MS Project classic, MS Project server is not for you.
