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

If your business is like most and doesn’t have a lot of extra money to spend on upgrades, you can use TPM to keep using your old hardware. This will help you avoid being rushed into a decision and allow you time to prepare for the transition by getting your finances in order. When you’re ready, you can upgrade to new hardware.

If you are repairing your hardware yourself, you may not have access to OEM parts. This can be a problem because the quality of the parts may not be as good. 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 don’t have to pay a lot for post-EoL OEM services. TPM companies offer similar skills at a lower price. You can also get more work done with TPM than with OEM. Plus, you can push back the cost of new equipment with TPM. An upgrade will be necessary at some point, but TPM can help delay it.

OEMs are experts in their field, but TPMs can offer more customized services that meet the specific needs of your company. For example, a TPM might be able to repair equipment with little downtime or offer a more comprehensive service that is better value for money. Some TPMs, like NorthSmart, let you buy only the services you need. You can also create a hybrid model that combines elements of OEM and TPM support if that is what works best for your business.
