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

If your hardware is about to reach its end-of-service life and you don’t have much extra money to spend on upgrades, don’t worry. You can continue using your current hardware with the help of TPM. That way, you can upgrade when you’re ready and have the finances in order.

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 work with your equipment. Working with TPM means having access to trusted parts that will work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians who are doing the repairs are experts in this field and may be more familiar with your equipment than in-house techs.

You can save money by working with a TPM company instead of an OEM. TPM companies offer similar services for lower prices. They may also offer more services than your OEM, or personalize the service to better meet your needs. You can also push back the cost of new equipment by working with a TPM company. While you will still need to upgrade at some point, using a TPM company can help delay that expense.

TPM programs specialize in meeting the needs of a company. They might be able to do a repair 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 create a hybrid model with some aspects of an OEM and TPM program.
