Hi Giorgi,
Microsoft does have a product which is capable of hardware inventory along with many other capabilities - System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM).
You can refer the following link for more information on SCCM http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/server-cloud/system-center/configuration-manager-2012.aspxThanks and Regards, Mukesh.

As Mukesh already indicated, SCCM is the most relevant MS product which can be used for h/w inventory with additional features available.
However, I would like to emphasize on few things
o IT hardware and office equipments inventory. -
Not all h/w equipment's can be inventoried using SCCM, if you have all your pc's and Servers running Windows, SCCM is the optimal solution. Using some third party commercial connectors Linux and Unix machines can also be inventoried using
SCCM. For network equipment's like Switches, Routers, Printers, Projectors you need to look for some SNMP based solutions.
o Cloud Solution and easy to manage. - SCCM servers can be setup on cloud infrastructure ( Hyper-V or VMware vSphere ), as far as my knowledge goes you need a dedicated team for managing SCCM infra if you have large network.
o Integration with Navision - Not very sure about this, might be possible.
o Multi language - Multi language is supported in SCCM.
If you have specific questions on SCCM, you can seek further help in SCCM forum
