When a manufacturer stops supporting a product, the equipment is not suddenly useless. It still has value and can be used if it works for your company. As long as there aren’t any glaring issues with the hardware or problems with its place in your company’s infrastructure, you can stretch your initial investment and keep the product working longer with TPM.

You may not have the extra money to upgrade your hardware right now. That’s okay! You can still use your existing hardware with the help of TPM. This will allow you to upgrade when you’re ready, which will give you time to prepare and save up for the purchase.

If you are repairing 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. You can avoid this problem by working with TPM. TPM has access to trusted parts that will work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians who perform repairs are 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. You can also get more work done for the same price, or even personalized work that is not available from OEMs. You can also push back the cost of new equipment by working with a TPM company. An upgrade will still be necessary at some point, but TPM can help delay it.

TPM programs focus on what your company needs. They might be able to do a repair in a way 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 even create a hybrid model with some of the benefits of both OEM and TPM support if that’s what works for your business.
