APC SMART UPS 1500VA 230V

When a manufacturer stops supporting a product, the equipment is not suddenly useless. It still has most of its original value. If the product works for your company, it is convenient to keep using it. As long as there aren’t any glaring issues with the hardware or problems with its place in your company’s infrastructure, you can stretch your initial investment and keep the product working longer with TPM.

You may be at a point where your hardware is about to reach its end-of-service life (EoSL). However, your company may not have the extra money to spend on upgrades right now. You have your own business to run and need to balance your time. Additionally, you don’t want to feel rushed into making a decision about upgrading because you feel like you need new hardware. By continuing to use your existing equipment with the help of technology performance management (TPM), you can choose when you’re ready to upgrade. You can prepare for the transition and have your finances in order before purchasing new equipment.

If you are repairing your hardware yourself, you may not have access to the original parts. This can be a problem because the replacements may not be as good as the originals. However, if you work with TPM, you will have access to trusted parts that will work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians who perform the repairs will be experts in this field and may be more familiar with your equipment than in-house techs.

You can save money on post-EoL OEM services by working with a TPM company. They offer similar skills at a much lower cost. Plus, with TPM you may get more work done or a more personalized service than what your OEM offers. You can also push back the cost of new equipment by working with a TPM company. While an upgrade will still be necessary at some point, using TPM can help delay it.

OEMs specialize in their equipment, but TPM programs can focus on the needs of your company. They might be able to do a repair in a way that creates little downtime or offer more services that can provide a better deal. Some TPM options, like NorthSmart, let you purchase only the services you need. You can even create a hybrid model with elements of both OEM and TPM support if that’s what fits your business.
