identifying, from a datacenter, one or more datacenter components that are configured in the datacenter;
generating and displaying, on a dashboard interface on a user device, selectable objects for the one or more datacenter components;
upon receiving a selection of one or more of the selectable objects for one or more of the datacenter components, causing an application programming interface (API) call to request, in real-time, information corresponding to the selected objects of the one or more datacenter components from one or more proprietary applications associated with the selected one or more datacenter components;
wherein the API call translates the selection into a request for information based on proprietary logic to communicate with the one or more proprietary applications that is called by the API call;
receiving, in response to the API call, the information corresponding to the one or more datacenter components from the one or more proprietary applications;
aggregating the information received corresponding to the one or more datacenter components from the one or more proprietary applications;
providing, within the dashboard interface, the aggregated information corresponding to the selected one or more datacenter components from the one or more proprietary applications;
wherein the aggregated information includes vendor contracts associated with the selected one or more datacenter components; and
enabling tracking of the vendor contracts for the selected one or more datacenter components, wherein enabling tracking of vendor contracts for the one or more datacenter components further comprises:
identifying end of life devices and end of service life devices of the one or more datacenter components based at least on the vendor contracts;
identifying clients affected by the identified end of life devices or the end of service life devices of the one or more datacenter components; and
