	Hi Payam,

	Some of what you mention can be handled with Netdot (https://netdot.uoregon.edu).

	There is built-in support for maintenance contract definitions, but some
	customization might be required. The good part about netdot is that it
	will automate some of the inventory management if it has SNMP access to
	your devices. Asset mgmt support is rather good for Cisco equipment, but
	would have to be tested for other vendors.

	Cheers,
	Phil
