Working on a new project, and need some documentation advice. I need to be able to document ~ 400 client sites to track assets, setup, hardware layout, network layout, etc. We want to have photos, maps, etc. wherever possible. We need this for a call center environment.

Has anyone found any off the shelf software that performs this functionality, or are we on our own to develop the tools that we require?
