Even if the manufacturer stops supporting a product, it doesn’t mean that the product is useless. It still has a lot of its original value. If the product works for your company, it is a good idea to keep using it. As long as there aren’t any big problems with the hardware or how it works in your company’s infrastructure, you can use it for longer by using TPM.

You may be wondering if you should upgrade your hardware soon. You may not have the money to do it right now, or you may not want to be rushed into a decision. That’s okay! With TPM, you can continue to use your existing equipment while you plan and save up for the upgrades you need. You can prepare for the transition and make sure that you’re ready financially before purchasing new hardware.

If you are repairing your own hardware, you may not have access to parts from the original manufacturer. In this case, you might need to get parts from less-than-reliable manufacturers. 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 avoid paying high prices for post-EoL OEM services by working with a TPM company. TPM companies offer similar skills at a much lower price. Plus, you may get more work done or a more personalized service than you would from your OEM. You can also push back the cost of new equipment by working with a TPM company. Although an upgrade will still be necessary at some point, using a TPM company can help delay it.

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