APC SMART UPS 1500VA

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

If your hardware is going to reach its end-of-service-life soon and your company doesn’t have much extra money to spend on upgrades, you don’t need to worry. You can continue using your existing equipment with the help of TPM. That way, you can choose when to upgrade and you can prepare for the transition by getting your finances in order first.

If you are repairing your hardware yourself, you may not have access to the original parts that came with your device. This can be a problem because the replacements you find may not be trustworthy. 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 technicians.

In addition, TPM may include more work or be more personalized than what your OEM offers. You also get to push back the cost of new equipment. While an upgrade will still be necessary at some point, TPM can help delay it.

OEMs specialize in the equipment they produce, while TPM programs can focus on the needs of your company. TPM options might be able to offer a repair that has little downtime or provide more comprehensive services that are better for your business. Some TPMs, like NorthSmart, let you purchase only the services you need. You can even create a hybrid model with elements of OEM and TPM support if it fits your business needs.
