When a manufacturer stops offering support for a product, the equipment is not suddenly useless. It still has much of its original value. If the product works for your company, it can be convenient to keep using it. You can stretch your initial investment by using TPM to keep the product working longer.

You may be at a time when your hardware is reaching the end of its life cycle, but you don’t have the money to upgrade right now. That’s okay! You can still use your existing hardware with the help of TPM and upgrade when you’re ready. This will give you time to prepare for the transition and save up money so you can buy new equipment without feeling rushed.

If you are repairing your hardware yourself, you may not have access to the same parts that the original manufacturer used. This can be a problem because the replacements may not be as reliable. You can solve this problem by working with TPM. This company has access to trusted parts that will work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians who work for this company are experts in this field and may be more familiar with your equipment than in-house technicians.

You can save money on post-EoL OEM services by working with a TPM company. TPM companies offer similar skill sets as OEMs but at a much lower cost. In addition, the scope of work may be more expansive or personalized than what is offered by your OEM. 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, TPM can help delay it.

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