CISCO 131 POE ACCESS POINT

When a manufacturer stops supporting a product, that product is not suddenly useless. It still has most of its original value. If the product works for your company, it is convenient to keep using it. 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 might not have enough money to buy new hardware right now because you have your own business to run. You also don’t want to be rushed into a decision. TPM can help you use your old hardware until you’re ready to upgrade. You can plan for the transition and make sure you have the money saved up before buying new equipment.

If you are repairing your own hardware, you may not have access to the same parts that the original manufacturer used. In this case, you may need to rely on less-than-reliable manufacturers for replacement parts. However, if you choose to work with TPM, you will gain access to trusted parts that will work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians who perform the repairs will be experts in their field and may be more familiar with your equipment than in-house techs would be.

Using a TPM company for post-EoL OEM services can save you a lot of money. They usually have lower prices and the same skill set. You also get more work done with them than with your OEM, and you can push back the cost of new equipment. An upgrade will still be necessary at some point, but TPM can help delay it.

OEMs specialize in making equipment, but TPM programs can focus on the needs of your company. They might be able to fix something in a way that creates less downtime for you or offer more services that are better for you. Some TPM programs, like NorthSmart, let you buy only the services you need. You can even mix and match between OEM and TPM support if it fits your business better.
