When a manufacturer stops providing support for a product, it doesn’t mean that the product suddenly becomes useless. In fact, the product still has a lot of its original value. If the product works for your company, it is still convenient to use it. You can keep using the product for longer if you use TPM (technological process management). As long as there aren’t any big problems with the hardware or how it fits into your company’s infrastructure, you can keep using it and save money.

You may not have enough money to buy new hardware right now. You also don’t want to be rushed into a decision. That’s where TPM comes in. You can keep using your old hardware and upgrade when you’re ready. You can prepare for the transition and have your finances in order before purchasing new hardware.

If you are fixing 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. TPM has access to trusted parts that will work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians who work on your equipment are experts in this field. They may know more about your equipment than in-house technicians.

You can save money on post-EoL OEM services by working with a TPM company. They have lower prices and the same skill set as OEM companies. In addition, TPM companies may offer more services than OEM companies or they may personalize the service to fit your needs better. 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 postpone it.

TPM programs can specialize in what your company needs. For example, they might be able to do a repair quickly so there is little down time. Or they might offer more services that can save you money. Some TPM programs, like NorthSmart, let you only buy the services you need. You can also choose a hybrid model with some aspects of OEM and TPM support.
