When a manufacturer stops supporting a product, the equipment is not suddenly worthless. It still has most of its original value. If the product works for your company, it is helpful to keep using it. As long as there are no big problems with the hardware or with how it fits into your company’s infrastructure, you can use the product for longer by using TPM.

If your hardware is about to reach its end-of-service life and your company doesn’t have a lot of extra money to spend on upgrades, you don’t need to worry. You can continue using your existing equipment with the help of TPM. This will help you choose when you want to upgrade, and you can prepare for the transition by getting your finances in order first.

If you are working on the hardware yourself, you may not have access to parts from the original equipment manufacturer. This can be a problem because the replacements may not be as good as the originals. However, if you work with TPM, you will have access to trusted parts that will work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians who perform repairs will be experts in their field and may be more familiar with your equipment than in-house technicians.

You can save money by working with a TPM company instead of an OEM. TPM companies offer similar skill sets but at a much lower cost. They can also do more work than an OEM, and you can push back the cost of new equipment. However, you will eventually need to upgrade your equipment, and TPM can help delay that expense.

OEMs specialize in their equipment, but TPM programs can focus more on the needs of your company. They might be able to repair your equipment in a way that creates as little downtime as possible or offer more encompassing services that can provide a better deal. Some TPM options, like NorthSmart, 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.
