Even if a manufacturer stops supporting a product, the equipment is not useless. It still has most of its original value. If the product works for your company, it is good to keep using it. As long as there are no glaring issues with the hardware or problems with its place in your company’s infrastructure, you can continue to use the product for longer by using TPM.

You may not have enough money to buy new hardware right now. You also don’t want to be rushed into a decision. TPM can help you use your existing hardware until you’re ready to upgrade. You can plan for the transition and make sure you have the money before buying new equipment.

If you are fixing your own hardware, you may not have access to the same parts that the manufacturer uses. This can be a problem because the parts may not work well with your equipment. working with TPM means having access to trusted parts that will work with your device. Plus, the technicians who are repairing your device are experts in this area and may know more about it than in-house technicians.

In addition to saving money, you may get more work done with a TPM than with your OEM. You can also push back the cost of new equipment by working with a TPM. Although an upgrade will be necessary at some point, TPM can help delay it.

OEMs specialize in their equipment, but TPM programs can focus on the needs of your company. TPM programs might be able to do a repair that causes very little downtime 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 some elements of OEM and TPM support if that’s what your business needs.
