APC SMART UPS 3000VA RM

If a manufacturer stops supporting a product, it doesn’t mean the product suddenly becomes useless. It still has a lot 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 big problems with the hardware or with how it fits into your company’s infrastructure, you can keep using the product for longer by using TPM.

If your hardware is about to reach its end-of-service life and your company doesn’t have a lot of extra money to spend on upgrades, don’t worry. You can continue to use your existing equipment with the help of TPM while you take the time to prepare for a transition. That way, you can upgrade when you’re ready and have your finances in order.

If you are repairing your hardware yourself, you may not have easy access to OEM parts. This may mean that you have to turn to less-than-trustworthy manufacturers for the parts you need. However, working with TPM entails more access to trusted parts that will work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians performing the repairs are experts in the field and may be more familiar with the equipment than in-house techs.

You don’t have to pay high prices for post-EoL OEM services. Work with a TPM company instead and you will save money. TPM companies have a similar skill set, but they charge much less. Plus, the scope of work may be more expansive or personalized than what your OEM offers. You can also push back the cost of new equipment by working with a TPM company. An upgrade will still be necessary at some point, but TPM can help delay it.

TPM programs specialize in meeting the needs of a company. They might be able to do repairs quickly so there is little downtime or offer more services that might be better for your company. Some TPM programs, like NorthSmart, let you buy only the services you need. You can also choose a hybrid model that has some elements of an OEM and TPM program.
