If a manufacturer stops supporting a product, that product is not suddenly useless. It still has a lot of its original value. If the product works for your company, it is good to keep using it. As long as there are no big problems with the hardware or with how it fits into your company’s infrastructure, you can keep using the product for a longer time by using TPM.

You may not have enough money to upgrade your hardware right now. You have other things to do and you don’t want to be rushed into a decision. You can use TPM to help you continue using your existing hardware until you’re ready to upgrade. When you are ready, you can plan ahead and prepare your finances. Then you can buy new equipment.

If you are repairing your hardware yourself, you may not have access to the same parts that the manufacturer uses. This can be a problem, because the parts may not be as reliable. However, if you work with TPM, you will have access to more 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. TPM companies have lower prices and the same skill set as OEMs. In addition, the scope of work included with TPM may be more expansive or personalized than what is offered by your OEM. You also get to push back the cost of new equipment. While an upgrade will still be necessary at some point, TPM can help keep it at bay.

OEMs specialize in their equipment, but TPM programs can focus on the needs of your company. They might be able to fix your equipment in a way that creates little down time or offer more services that can save you money. Some TPM programs, 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.
